Read the excerpt from "Raymond's Run."

What does the narrative voice in this excerpt tell readers
about Squeaky's character?
I was once a strawberry in a Hansel and Gretel pageant
when I was in nursery school and didn't have no better
sense than to dance on tiptoe with my arms in a circle over
my head doing umbrella steps and being a perfect fool just
so my mother and father could come dressed up and clap.
You'd think they'd know better than to encourage that kind
of nonsense. I am not a strawberry.
She wishes she could be more like other girls in school.
She worries that her parents are disappointed with her.
O She knows who she is and is comfortable with herself.
She thinks that she is good at and succeeds in
everything.

Answer:

Option C. The narrative voice from Raymond's Run's excerpt tells readers that Squeaky's character knows who she is and is comfortable with herself.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt shows how Squeaky is comfortable with herself and how much she knows who she is, especially for her young age. As she recollects a moment in nursery school when she played the part of a strawberry in a Hansel and Gretel pageant, she reflects how little that acting had to do with who she was, and how she did it just for her parents amusement. For a ten-years old girl to be able to reflect on a memory of when she was around 3 years old, show how mature and centered Squeaky is.
