Answer:
The exposition of the short story "Raymond's Run" by Toni Cade Bambara is the introduction of the main character, Hazel Elizabeth Deborah Parker, also known as Squeaky, and her brother Raymond. It sets the scene and provides background information about the characters and their relationship. The story takes place in Harlem, New York City, and Squeaky is described as a fast runner and a protector of her brother, who has a developmental disability. The exposition also establishes the conflict of the story, which centers around Squeaky's desire to win a race and her fear that a new girl in the neighborhood, Gretchen, will be a serious competitor.
