Which excerpt from "Raymond's Run" best shows that Squeaky isn't afraid to stand up for herself?

a. I stay up all night studying the words for the spelling bee. And you can see me any time of day practicing running. I never walk if I can trot, and shame on Raymond if he can't keep up.

b. But as they get to me, they slow down. I'm ready to fight, 'cause like I said I don't feature a whole lot of chit-chat, I much prefer to just knock you down right from the jump.

c. I dig my sneaker into the grass and stare at Gretchen who's staring back, we both wondering just who did win.

d. With a little more study I can beat Cynthia and her phony self at the spelling bee. And if I bugged my mother, I could get piano lessons and become a star.

B is an obvious answer. She is willing to fight and stand up for herself from the beginning.

August Maldonado · Answer 2

The correct answer is B. This response shows that she is ready to defend herself if she needs to. This is evident when she says, " ... I don’t feature a whole lot of chit-chat, I much prefer to just knock you down right from the jump." This means that she doesn't want to argue about the problem. She would rather just fight her opponent and get it over with.
