I've read the story but I don't know the answer to this one.
Maybe I am a fast reader, I just came here so I could make sure my answer was correct.
To answer the question of why Squeaky does not know who has won the race at first in "Raymond's Run," we need to analyze the story. Here's how you can find the answer:
1. Start by reading the text: Go back to the text of "Raymond's Run" and locate the section where the race takes place. Read this section carefully to understand the events leading up to the confusion about the winner.
2. Pay attention to Squeaky's perspective: Take note of Squeaky's observations and thoughts throughout the race. Look for any indications of why she might not be aware of the winner immediately.
3. Consider the options provided: Look at the given options and consider which one might be the reason for Squeaky's initial lack of knowledge about the winner.
In this case, option A ("Raymond has climbed a fence") is the correct answer. Squeaky does not initially know who has won the race because she is focused on her brother Raymond, who has climbed a fence and is cheering for her. This distracts her from immediately seeing who crosses the finish line first.
Remember, to understand a story or answer questions about it, it is important to carefully read the text and pay attention to the details provided by the author.
