Final answer:
In 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' Bob Ewell is killed after he attacks Scout and Jem Finch, the children of Atticus Finch, which leads to Boo Radley intervening to protect them. Option A) He was falsely accused of a crime is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the character Bob Ewell does not fit any of the provided choices accurately. The correct answer to what happened to Bob is that he ultimately died after attacking the children of Atticus Finch, the lawyer who defended Tom Robinson, the man wrongly accused of raping Bob’s daughter.
After the trial, in which Bob Ewell's daughter's accusations are shown to be false, Bob vows revenge on Atticus for embarrassing him in court.
The culmination of his vendetta leads to an attack on Atticus’s children, Scout and Jem Finch, which is thwarted by Boo Radley—another misunderstood character in the story. Bob Ewell is inadvertently killed by Boo Radley during this altercation.
