In the beginning of the story, Tamara teases Phoebe about the low score she receives on a math quiz. At the end of the story, Tamara laughs at the way Paul holds a tennis racquet in gym class.

Explanation

A dynamic character changes in an important way over the course of a story. Teddy begins by caring more about winning than cooperating, but he realizes that friendship and teamwork matter more. The other choices show characters behaving consistently or taking on a different activity, not a meaningful change in their attitudes or beliefs.
