Why is Maxie Hammerman called "The Pushcart King"?

• A. Because he makes all the pushcarts
• B. Because he writes the laws
• C. Because he sells groceries
• D. Because he directs traffic

Answer: (A)

Maxie Hammerman earns the title because his power comes from making and supplying the pushcarts that the vendors use. He built and controls the cart business, so he’s the top figure in that world, which is why he’s known as “The Pushcart King.” The other options don’t fit because the nickname isn’t about writing laws, selling groceries, or directing traffic—it's about his dominance in the pushcart business itself.
