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>
The synonym that has a connotation that matches the tone is this:
<h3>What synonym has a connotation that matches the text?</h3>
The synonym that has a connotation that matches the text is the rowdy one. A synonym refers to a word that is similar in meaning to another one. In this text, we can see that the word, rowdy is similar to the tone that we find in this text. A lot of things are happening at the same time. There is a thunderstorm, lightning, frightful games, and people on the ground.
All of these portray a frightful and disorganized scene. Rowdy is similar to something uncontrollable. So, the scene created in the text shows a very rowdy scene. The tone of a text is the feeling we get from the reading. The feeling, in this case, is that of rowdiness, therefore the last option is right.
