Instead of being a game of hide and seek, how do Kirszner and Mandell describe the process of reading?

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".

- "these rights are natural and god-given to all men equally." (i disagree cuz i kind of think it's 'a' but who knows.)

the correct answer is d. gerunds. hope this
