Answer 1

It would be easier if you provided an excerpt. Anyway I think that the right answer is C.. She is not the fastest runner in the race..

Answer 2

Answer:

I think Squeaky is so focused on competing and winning because she loves running so much. She wants to be the best. She wants to win so she can know that she is the best at something. She does not want the only thing that people think she is good at is taking care of her brother. She does not want to be labeled as a useless person. Squeaky's dad loves to run and they have that in common. Running is something that is special for both of them. She says running is her whole life. Another reason Squeaky is so focused is so she can beat Gretchen. Gretchen is always telling everyone she never practices when she does. so Squeaky wants to show her that she practiced more and that she can beat her. Running is something that keeps her motivated and helps her keep focus. The more Gretchen says she did not practice the more Squeaky wants to win.

Hope this helps!
