Was it realistic that the socs admit they were to blame for bobs murder Why or why not?

It was unlikely that the Socs would admit blame for Bob's murder due to their social status and the culture of denial among privileged groups. Admitting guilt would undermine their identity and power, and they often rationalized their actions as a result of their rivalry with the Greasers. Additionally, acknowledging their culpability would challenge the narrative that they were the victims of the socio-economic divide, which they typically preferred to maintain.
