PART B: Which of the following quotes best supports the answer to Part A?

A
“Most of the aunt’s remarks seemed to begin with ‘Don't,’ and nearly all of the children’s remarks began with ‘Why?’” ( Paragraph 1)
B
“interrupted at frequent intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably uninteresting story” ( Paragraph 14)
C
“It seemed to introduce a ring of truth that was absent from the aunt's tales of infant life.” ( Paragraph 31)
D
“‘A most improper story to tell to young children! You have undermined the effect of years of careful teaching.’” ( Paragraph 59)

the answer:

in the first part of the story running is all that matters to squeaky. running gives her confidence and defines who she is. at the beginning of the story she says that other kids call her mercury because she runs very fast. in the text she refers to herself as "miss quicksilver".

the line that provides the best evidence that squeaky has self-confidence is

" and i continue with my breathing exercise, strolling down broadway toward the ice cream man on 145th with not a care in the world cause i am miss quicksilver herself".

the correct answer is the last option
