Question

Which excerpt from "Raymond's Run” best shows that Squeaky is protective of her brother? But now, if anybody has anything to say to Raymond, anything to say about his big head, they have to come by me. So I keep Raymond on the inside of me, and he plays like he’s driving a stage coach which is O.K. by me. . . . . . shame on Raymond if he can’t keep up. But of course he does, ‘cause if he hangs back someone’s liable to walk up to him and get smart, or take his allowance from him. . . I see that ole Raymond is on line on the other side of the fence, bending down with his fingers on the ground just like he knew what he was doing. I was going to yell at him but then I didn’t.

Answer 2

The passage which best shows that Squeaky is protective of her brother is: "But now, if anybody has anything to say to Raymond, anything to say about his big head, they have to come by me."

The story of "Raymond's Run" revolves around how Hazel (or Squeaky) takes care of her big brother Raymond who is disabled.

This sentence best shows her protective attitude because it means that anyone who is looking for trouble with Raymond will have to deal with her. It is the most emotionally-driven phrase, whereas the rest is more explanatory, like when the narrator then explains that her brother tends to be bothered by bullies when he is left alone: "if he hangs back someone’s liable to walk up to him and get smart."
