Answer to Question 3: In "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail," Bailey guesses Henry (Thoreau) committed murder because B. Henry sounds educated. In the context of the play, Henry does not fit the stereotypical image of a criminal in Bailey's mind. Instead, Bailey associates Henry's articulate speech and educated demeanor with that of a murderer -- at the time, popular thinking could lead one to associate a higher level of education with more complex crimes, such as murder.

Answer to Question 4: If you were able to make a disparaging remark to someone, it would be A. demanding. The word "disparaging" refers to expressing the opinion that something is of little worth; it is critical or belittling. Therefore, it is neither inquisitive (which means curious or asking questions) nor supportive (which implies providing approval or assistance).
