Where does Bruno leave his clothes?

• A. In the closet
• B. On the bed
• C. In the mud outside the fence
• D. In Bruno's room

Answer: (C)

The moment tests your recall of a pivotal scene where Bruno crosses the boundary to join his new friend on the other side of the fence. To blend in with the people on that side, Bruno switches into Shmuel’s striped pajamas. Because of this, his own clothes are no longer with him on that side and are left behind in the mud outside the fence, marking the separation between his familiar life and the harsh world beyond the fence.

The other options don’t fit because they place Bruno’s clothes inside the house or on a surface inside Bruno’s room, which isn’t where the crossing and disguise occur.
