This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from “Raymond's Run.”

Now some people like to act like things come easy to them, won’t let on that they practice. Not me. I’ll high-prance down 34th street like a rodeo pony to keep my knees strong even if it does get my mother uptight so that she walks ahead like she’s not with me, don’t know me, is all by herself on a shopping trip, and I am somebody else’s crazy child.

What does the narrative voice in this passage reveal about Squeaky’s character?

A. She doesn’t like the way her mother treats her.

B. She doesn’t care about how she looks to others.

C. She feels like she has to work harder than others.

D. She wants everyone to know how fast she runs

The narrative voice reveals that:

B. She doesn’t care about how she looks to others.

Explanation:

"Raymond's Run" is a short story by Toni Cade Bambara. The narrator is Squeaky, whose real name is Hazel. She is a smart, determined, and competitive girl. Squeaky tries her best, no matter what the challenge is. And she clearly does not care what others think of her. She will not hide what she is doing. She will not change the way she is doing it. That is specially clear when she says, "even if it does get my mother uptight so that she walks ahead like she's not with me." Squeaky will do what she thinks is best for her, independently on how others seem to feel about it. She may look like "somebody else's crazy child," but the way she looks to others is not important.
