1. in to kill a mockingbird, what is the main reason atticus finch defends tom robinson? a) he believes in justice and equality b) he wants to become famous c) he feels pity for tom d) he is forced to defend him by the court

Explanation:

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch is a morally upright character. He defends Tom Robinson because he firmly believes in justice and equality. This is a central theme of the novel. He doesn't defend Tom out of pity (as that would imply a condescending view), he isn't seeking fame (his actions are driven by principle, not personal gain), and he isn't forced by the court (he takes on the case willingly as a matter of conscience).

Answer:

A. He believes in justice and equality
