Who is Don Quijote's righthand man?

• A. Sancho Panza
• B. Don Quijote
• C. Pedro Alonzo
• D. Miguel

Answer: (A)

Sancho Panza is the loyal squire who travels with Don Quijote, acting as his trusted assistant and practical counterbalance to the knight’s grand ideas. The term “righthand man” fits because Sancho handles tasks, negotiates with others, and provides down-to-earth commentary that keeps the adventures from becoming pure fantasy. Their partnership—Quijote’s idealism paired with Sancho’s pragmatism—drives the story and reveals how true companionship supports a hero. The other names do not fit this role: Don Quijote is the knight himself, while Pedro Alonzo and Miguel are not his close aide in the tale.
