Question 4 • LCS-Teacher Remediation-M/J Language Arts 3_Q1
Read the excerpt from “Raymond's Run.”But now, if anybody has anything to say to Raymond, anything to say about his big head, they have to come by me. And I don’t play the dozens or believe in standing around with somebody in my face doing a lot of talking. I much rather just knock you down and take my chances even if I am a little girl with skinny arms and a squeaky voice...

B
She describes Squeaky’s physical traits to tell readers about her character.
C

D

Explanation
The excerpt is narrated in Squeaky’s first-person voice, and her words reveal how protective and bold she is. She says she would defend Raymond by knocking someone down, even though she describes herself as a little girl with skinny arms and a squeaky voice. So the author uses Squeaky’s thoughts and words to show her character.
