Who is Albert P. Mack?

• A. A trucker representative
• B. A pushcart leader
• C. The mayor's aide
• D. A traffic commissioner

Answer: (A)

This question tests your understanding of character roles and what they signify in The Pushcart War. Albert P. Mack is depicted as the truckers’ representative—the voice and organizer for the truck drivers. He stands for the larger, more powerful side in the city’s street clash, coordinating actions, negotiating with others, and bringing the trucking perspective to the conflict. He’s not a pushcart leader, nor a city official like the mayor’s aide or the traffic commissioner; those roles belong to figures on the other side of the dispute or to civic authorities, while Mack embodies the organized truckers’ side.
