Question 25 • M/J Language Arts 3 Advanced

Which excerpt from "Raymond's Run” best shows that Squeaky is protective of her brother?

Answer

But now, if anybody has anything to say to Raymond, anything to say about his big head, they have to come by me.

So I keep Raymond on the inside of me, and he plays like he’s driving a stage coach which is O.K. by me. . .

. . . shame on Raymond if he can’t keep up. But of course he does, ‘cause if he hangs back someone’s liable to walk up to him and get smart, or take his allowance from him. . .

I see that ole Raymond is on line on the other side of the fence, bending down with his fingers on the ground just like he knew what he was doing. I was going to yell at him but then I didn’t.

Explanation

Squeaky is protective of Raymond when she says anyone who wants to say something about him “have to come by me.” This shows she is ready to stand up for him and defend him. Choice B describes how she keeps him close, but A states her protective attitude most directly.
