learning without knowing without room to learn how to know myself to be myself
The best line from the excerpt that expresses the theme that it can be difficult to know yourself and your place in the world is "learning without knowing without room to learn how to know myself to be myself". This line shows that the speaker doesn't know himself or how to be himself. The speaker is struggling in the classroom. It is obvious that he does not like sitting at the desk when he uses the words "crunched-in" and "restraining". He's struggling with the language as well. This is shown when he goes back and forth between English and his native language.
#2 ANSWER IS A.
#3 ANSWER IS C.
#4 ANSWER IS D.
#5 ANSWER IS A.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Choice A would make sense for the first sentence, but not the rest. Choice B is supported by the part of the passage that says, "...I am weightless again, flying past the other runners". The choice C isn't supported whatsoever because the passage does not say whether or not Squeaky wins, nor does it talk about working hard to prepare for the race. The choice D is supported by the positive self-talk and the resulting physical response (running faster) that the passage describes. This is why I believe D is the best answer.
D. Success is possible if one truly believes in oneself
