Question

Read the excerpt from “Raymond's Run.”

Answer 1

Answer:

In this excerpt from Raymond's Run Squeaky's descrption of her father shows that she admires her father's natural running ability. The correct answer is the second one.

Explanation:

In these lines, the reader can realize how proud Squeaky is of her father; she even jokes about him winning even in an imaginary race with him doing the less effort ("and him running with his hands in his pockets and whistling"). She says her father would win even if she had two-fire-hydran head start. She sounds amazed and proud by her father's running ability.

The first answer is also true, but I don't feel it is accurate enough because the tone of the lines is very joyful, she doesn't care that her father is a better runner than her, on the contrary she sounds glad.
