Which excerpt from “Raymond's Run” best shows that Squeaky admires people who are serious about doing their best?

He can beat me to Amsterdam Avenue with me having a two-fire-hydrant head start on him running with his hands in his pockets and whistling. But that’s private information. ‘Cause can you imagine some thirty-five-year-old man stuffing himself into PAL shorts to race little kids?
He wins before he even begins by psyching the runners, telling them they’re going to trip on their shoelaces and fall on their faces or lose their shorts or something, which he doesn’t really have to do since he is very fast, almost as fast as I am.
And I lean down to catch my breath and here comes Gretchen walking back, for she’s overshot the finish line too, huffing and puffing with her hands on her hips taking it slow, breathing in steady time like a real pro and I sort of like her a little for the first time.
So I stand there with my new plans, laughing out loud by this time as Raymond jumps down from the fence and runs over with his teeth showing and his arms down to the side, which no one before him has quite mastered as a runni

Answer:

And I lean down to catch my breath and here comes Gretchen walking back, for she’s overshot the finish line too, huffing and puffing with her hands on her hips taking it slow, breathing in steady time like a real pro and I sort of like her a little for the first time.

Explanation:

Raymond's Run is a short story written by Toni Cade Bambara. The protagonist and narrator is Squeaky (real name: Hazel Parker), who takes care of her disabled brother Raymond. Squeaky's main passion is running, but, in the end, she gives up competitive running in order to start training Raymond.

Squeaky admires people who do their best and strongly dislikes those who pretend not to care. Gretchen is the new girl in school, and Squeaky doesn't like her for her cocky attitude. However, when they race against each other, Hazel begins respecting Gretchen for her professionalism, the fact she does things properly:

Question 2
Part B

Which excerpts best support the answer in Part A?

Select the two correct answers.


"Soon afterwards the other dwarves were brought into the town amid scenes of astonishing enthusiasm. They were all doctored and fed and housed and pampered in the most delightful and satisfactory fashion. A large house was given up to Thorin and his company; boats and rowers were put at their service; and crowds sat outside and sang songs all day, or cheered if any dwarf showed so much as his nose."

"The news had spread from the doors of the hall like fire through all the town. People were shouting inside the hall and outside it. The quays were thronged with hurrying feet. Some began to sing snatches of old songs concerning the return of the King under the Mountain; that it was Thror’s grandson not Thror himself that had come back did not bother them at all."

"Then the Master hesitated and looked from one to the other. The Elvenking was very powerful in those parts and the Master wished for no enmity with him, nor did he think much of old songs, giving his mind to trade and tolls, to cargoes and gold, to which habit he owed his position. Others were of different mind, however, and quickly the matter was settled without him."

"All leaped to their feet. The Master of the town sprang from his great chair. But none rose in greater surprise than the raft-men of the elves who were sitting at the lower end of the hall. Pressing forward before the Master’s table they cried: 'These are prisoners of our king that have escaped, wandering vagabond dwarves that could not give any good account of themselves....'"

No matter what you say you are cared for by someone. Parents might not always understand because they have someone to moorne with. I love a girl but the problem is I won't be able to see her ever again. Never take women for granted becaues you never know when they are the ones who want to take it slow and care for you dont jump from women to women just for the satisfaction of having a girlfriend or even a boyfriend just dont take things for granted. You never know when the person that cares about you shows up and then could be dead the next day spend everyday that you can with the person you care about dearly. Last one for the day have a good day girls and guys.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Read this excerpt from “Poor Harold.”


A room in Washington Square South. By the light of a candle, a young man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table. A clock within strikes seven.


A door at the back opens, and a young woman looks in, sleepily. She frowns. The young man looks up guiltily.


SHE. What are you doing?


HE. (innocently) Writing.


SHE. So I see. (She comes in, and sits down. It may be remarked that a woman's morning appearance, in dishabille, is a severe test of both looks and character; she passes that test triumphantly. She looks at the young man, and asks) – Poetry?


HE. (hesitatingly) No. . . .


SHE. (continues to look inquiry).


HE. (finally) A letter. . . .


SHE. (inflexibly) – To whom?


HE. (defiantly) To my wife!


SHE. Oh! That's all right. I thought perhaps you were writing to your father.


HE. (bitterly) My father! Why should I write to my father? Isn't it enough that I have broken his heart and brought disgrace upon him in his old age –


SHE. Disgrace? Nonsense! Anybody might be named as a co-respondent in a divorce case.


HE. Not in Evanston, Illinois. Not when you are the local feature of a notorious Chicago scandal. Not when your letters to the lady are published in the newspapers. – Oh, those letters!


SHE. Were they such incriminating letters, Harold?


HAROLD. Incriminating? How can you ask that, Isabel? They were perfectly innocent letters, such as any gentleman poet might write to any lady poetess. How was I to know that a rather plain-featured woman I sat next to at a Poetry Dinner in Chicago was conducting a dozen love-affairs? How was I to know that my expressions of literary regard would look like love-letters to her long-suffering husband? That's the irony of it: I'm perfectly blameless.
