Read the excerpt from “Raymond's Run.”

[My father] can beat me to Amsterdam Avenue with me having a two-fire-hydrant head start and him running with his hands in his pockets and whistling.

Squeaky’s description of her father shows readers that she

A. knows she will never be as fast as her father.

B. admires her father’s natural running ability.

C. wishes her father was a more serious runner.

D. likes that her father can beat her in a race.

Squeaky's description of her father shows readers that she:

B. admires her father’s natural running ability.

Explanation:

Squeaky, whose real name is Hazel, is the narrator and main character in the short story "Raymond's Run" by author Toni Cade Bambara.

Hazel is a very young - yet very determined - girl. She aims to do her best at every activity she pursues. Her favorite one is running, and she is constantly practicing. She likes to win, and she likes to deserve to win.

The fact that she is talking about her father like that in the excerpt shows how much she admires him. Squeaky is not humble. She knows she is good, and she is not afraid to say it. So, her acknowledging her father can beat her so easily means she has great admiration for him and his ability.
