This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

A. is tired of running and would rather coach.
B. appreciates the strength of her competitor.
C. is proud because she won the race.
D. thinks people only smile a real smile when they win.
Answer:
The evidence supports the idea that Squeaky:
B. appreciates the strength of her competitor.
Explanation:
"Raymond's Run" is a short story by Toni Cade Bambara. It is narrated from Squeaky's perspective. She is Raymond's sister and is beautifully loyal to her brother, not accepting anyone saying anything to him about his being different. <u>She is brave and feisty, ready to pick up a fight with anyone, including the girl mentioned in the excerpt we are analyzing here.</u>
<u>Once they compete, Squeaky begins to admire Gretchen. Squeaky, being strong and honest herself, admires those same qualities in others. Gretchen put up a fight and tried her best during the race. For that reason, she has gained Squeaky's respect.</u>

It is customary that the introductory paragraph should include the thesis statement, a kind of mini-outline for the paper. It tells the reader what the essay is about. The last sentence of this paragraph must also contain a transitional "hook" which moves the reader to the first paragraph of the body of the paper.
Given the previous information, we could conclude that stating all three of the main supporting details to an argument is a constituent of a good introductory paragraph because that would be considered as the thesis statement, which tells the reader what the essay is about.
So, the final answer is:
Yes , True
It would be c because it say that he is getting ready to make his wish
