@Sheri-Anne- I agree that would be helpful. The problem is with the quiz software- there is a set template for writing a quiz on this website, which doesn't show what the right answers are if you answer wrongly. Therefore, I will write the answers here:

1930's California, False, Remove the worst effects of the Great Depression, he thinks George is taking Lennie's pay, The Riverside Dance Palace, Slim, Carlson, The importance of Democracy, Carlson and Soledad is Spanish for Solitude, and the charachters experience lonliness
