D. Foolish.

Explanation:

"The Monkey's Paw" written by William Wymark Jacobs is a supernatural, fictional story that tells the story of the Whites' obsession with a monkey's paw and it's ability to grant three wishes. The character of Mr. White is an old man, and the head of the family, living with his wife and son Herbert,

Throughout the story, Mr. White seems to be a rather foolish man, easily lured into the tales about the monkey's paw. He even made wishes after being told about the consequences of the three wishes. He also acted foolishly in his obedience of his wife's choices, making wishes even after knowing the fatal repercussions of the wishes.  

the answer:

in the first part of the story running is all that matters to squeaky. running gives her confidence and defines who she is. at the beginning of the story she says that other kids call her mercury because she runs very fast. in the text she refers to herself as "miss quicksilver".

the line that provides the best evidence that squeaky has self-confidence is

" and i continue with my breathing exercise, strolling down broadway toward the ice cream man on 145th with not a care in the world cause i am miss quicksilver herself".

shakespeare was famous for writing in iambic pentameter, which is a specific way of rhyming sonnet lines in ten syllables. there are also forms of unrhymed iambic pentameter, as in macbeth, with the noble characters.
