Question

Read the excerpt from “Raymond's Run.”

And on the other side of the fence is Raymond with his arms down to his side and the palms tucked up behind him, running in his very own style, and it’s the first time I ever saw that and I almost stop to watch my brother Raymond on his first run. But the white ribbon is bouncing toward me and I tear past it, racing into the distance till my feet with a mind of their own start digging up footfuls of dirt and brake me short. Then all the kids standing on the side pile on me, banging me on the back and slapping my head with their May Day programs, for I have won again and everybody on 151st Street can walk tall for another year.

Which text evidence best supports the idea that Squeaky is running for more than just herself?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

She was running for all the people because she says they can walk tall for another year. She wasn't only running for herself, she was running for the people watching.

Also, I took the test on edge.

Answer 2

D) everybody on 151st Street can walk tall for another year

Step-by-step explanation:

The author makes it sound that because Squeaky won the race, the residents of 151st Street are proud and confident. This means that Squeaky's win is impacting others - not just herself. Therefore, the last answer is correct.
