Whom did McMurphy want to accompany him on an Accompanied Pass?

• A. Ratched
• B. Scanlon
• C. Spivey
• D. Candy Starr

Answer: (D)

McMurphy aims to break the ward’s control by leaving with a companion on an Accompanied Pass, a sanctioned outing that requires a female escort. Candy Starr is the only person among these characters who fits that role—she’s a ward patient with access to the outside and is willing to go along with his plan as his escort. Her participation makes the pass feasible, whereas Nurse Ratched would not accompany him, and the other patients lack either the outside connection or the willingness to join in the scheme.
