Writing about Theme in Fiction and Citing Evidence — Quiz

Question 10 • COA ELA Grade 8

Which line from “Raymond's Run” is evidence that Squeaky has courage?

Answer

I take my time getting to the park on May Day because the track meet is the last thing on the program.

So I always come late to the May Day program, just in time to get my number pinned on and lay in the grass till they announce the fifty-yard dash.

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

I’m standing on the corner admiring the weather and about to take a stroll down Broadway so I can practice my breathing exercises . . .

Explanation

Squeaky shows courage by standing up for her brother and confronting anyone who insults him. The line “they have to come by me” shows she is willing to face people who might threaten or mock Raymond. The other choices describe her routine or where she is, rather than showing her bravery.
