Where does Gene visit when on his way to Devon for the Fall session?

• A. Finny's house in Boston
• B. Leper's house
• C. Gene's house
• D. The Devon library

Answer: (A)

The moment tests how the story sets up Gene and Finny’s complicated friendship as the Fall term at Devon begins. As Gene travels toward Devon for the new school session, he makes a stop at Finny’s house in Boston. This visit underscores how Finny still holds Gene’s attention and influence, and it foreshadows the tension and guilt that will shape their relationship once school resumes. It also shows that, even on the way back to Devon, Finny remains a central force in Gene’s thoughts, highlighting the pull and rivalry that drive much of the novel’s drama.

The other options don’t fit this specific travel moment. Leper’s house isn’t part of Gene’s route to Devon for the Fall term, the Devon library isn’t the stopping point described in this scene, and Gene’s own house wouldn’t be described as a stop on the way to Devon.
