Question 10 • LCS-Teacher Remediation-M/J Language Arts 3_Q1
Read the excerpt from “Raymond's Run.”Now some people like to act like things come easy to them, won’t let on that they practice. Not me. I’ll high-prance down 34th street like a rodeo pony to keep my knees strong even if it does get my mother uptight so that she walks ahead like she’s not with me, don’t know me, is all by herself on a shopping trip, and I am somebody else’s crazy child.
Answer
A
She doesn’t like the way her mother treats her.
B
She doesn’t care about how she looks to others.
C
She feels like she has to work harder than others.
D
She wants everyone to know how fast she runs.
Explanation
She says she practices to keep her knees strong and does not pretend that running comes easily to her. Her willingness to practice, even when her mother feels embarrassed, shows that she feels she has to work hard to succeed. The best choice is “She feels like she has to work harder than others.”
