Answer:
A juxtaposition of reality and dream sequences begin when the protagonist is hospitalized after a motorcycle accident. Asleep after surgery, he dreams that he is in flight from the Aztecs in a ritual war and must stay on a trail known only to the Motecas. He wakes, thirsty and feverish, to find his arm in a plaster cast. He eats and sleeps once more, dreaming this time that he is off the trail. He grasps his amulet and prays, but is captured. Awake again in the hospital, he thinks of the strange, almost infinite, loss of consciousness he had experienced after his accident. Dozing, he awakens this time pinned to the ground by ropes. His amulet is gone. He knows he will be sacrificed and the priests carry him away. He awakens one last time, but this reality quickly merges with the dream. The priest is coming toward him with the stone knife, and he realizes that he is not going to awaken; that he is awake, and that it is the other consciousness which was a dream.

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>
Answer:
The answer is Option D: Because she wrote about environmental damage caused by DDT.
Explanation:
Carson warned about the overuse of pesticides like DDT (short for dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane). These were overused in the agricultural industry in an attempt to control crop pests. This pesticide compound would be washed into streams and rivers and Carson warned that it was moving up the food chain, and entire ecosystems were threatened because it was dangerous for birds and fish and humans eating these animal and plant products too. Carson's was a successful science writer and scientist herself. Her argument reached far and wide after she published the Silent Spring in 1962. It is credited with the nationwide ban on the use of DDT and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency.
