My ears buzz, but I think I hear him shout, “Run, son! Get up and run!” Uncertain, I scramble and gape at Baba. Sweat streams down his face, and he holds a hand over his chest. Is he having a heart attack? He can’t be. His eyes are shining. I can see every tooth in his mouth. Baba is beaming! So I wipe my nose with my wrist and laugh through the tears. It sounds like I am crying. But Baba is beaming. I keep my eyes on him and trot sheepishly alongside to the finish. So much noise, so many people crowding the finish area. Mr. Juma is probably shouting for order. But I only have ears for Baba.
How do Baba’s actions offer a clue to the theme of the selection?
A.Baba believes that Kamau’s hard work has paid off.
B.Kamau thinks he is only good for dreaming so finishing the race is useless.
C.Baba thinks finishing the race is important, even though Kamau will finish last.
D.Kamau believes that winning the race is all that matters.
Is it C?
