Which quote from the passage best supports the idea that Kevon's opinion about Cameron has changed?
Kevon was determined to pin Cameron’s arms to the ground, but Cameron was doing everything in his power to keep that from happening. The fact that the two boys were tussling in an elevator didn’t help Kevon’s plight at all. And his little sister’s screaming was disrupting his concentration.
“Oh my goodness! Would you two just stop it already? There’s not enough room in this tiny elevator for you to fight,” Kelly screamed. “Could you at least wait until we get out of here?”
“Okay, okay! If you agree to stop that screaming, we’ll stop fighting,” Cameron said.
Kevon never thought he’d see the day when the school bully was taking orders from a little girl. He wasn’t sure if he could trust Cameron’s word.
“I never thought I’d see the day Cameron Maines would let a girl tell him what to do,” he said.
“Dude, nobody tells me what to do,” Cameron said, pushing Kevon’s shoulder. “I stopped because I have a little sister at home, and I never let her see me fight.”
“You mean your parents have more kids?” Kevon said. I’m going to have to teach Kelly how to defend herself sooner than I anticipated, he thought.
“I just have one little sister, and we’re close,” Cameron said. “Kelly, I’m sorry for behaving this way in front of you.”
“I never would have guessed you had any soft spots,” Kevon blurted out before he even realized it. “I mean, you just don’t seem like you let people get close to you.”
Cameron sighed. “I am very close to my family. I don’t think people realize what it’s like to be me.”
“You mean what it’s like to be the strongest, tallest kid in the whole school?” Kevon laughed. “Do tell!”
“I have been the biggest, tallest person in school for as long as I can remember. People made fun of me until I started standing up for myself,” Cameron said. “I wasn’t always mean. I just give people what they expect.”
“You shouldn’t be mean to people because that’s what they expect,” Kelly chimed in. “You should just be yourself.”
“Kelly, you’re a lot wiser than I give you credit for,” Kevon said.
“I have tried being nice to people before,” Cameron replied. “And I wound up eating lunch alone anyway. People were afraid I was trying to play a joke on them.”
Wow, I had no clue Cameron felt that way, Kevon thought. Puts things in a different light. He doesn’t seem so scary after all.
Just then the elevator doors creaked open.
“Are you kids okay?” a voice said.
“Yes, we are! Thank you so much for coming,” Kelly said.
“You must’ve been the one who called for help?”
“Wait, how did you call them?” Cameron said.
“I used the emergency phone in the elevator,” Kelly replied. “You two were so busy wrestling that you missed it.”
“Wow, you really are just like my little sister Claire.” Cameron laughed. “You two would get along great.”
“You’ll have to introduce us sometime,” Kelly said.
“Well, I guess I will see you around school,” Cameron mumbled.
“Hey, do you want to go to the pizza parlor with us to grab a slice?” Kevon asked.
“Are you sure you want me to come with you?”
“I insist!” Kelly said. “You should also invite Claire.”
“That sounds like a great idea. We can compare notes on our bratty little sisters!” Kevon laughed.
“Kevon!” Kelly screamed.
Cameron and Kevon looked at each other and laughed.

Read this passage: many manufacturers prefer plastic as a material for containers because it can be molded into many shapes. but plastic is not very strong. it must be fused with glass or steel for strength. it is also not very durable. even the strongest plastic can break under enough pressure. the biggest disadvantage to using plastic is that it does not decompose. while plastic can be recycled, doing so is tedious and difficult. while it may be more expensive and difficult to work with, aluminum is a much stronger building material with far greater tensile strength. it conducts electricity because it is metal. best of all, aluminum is very easy to recycle. even if it is thrown away, it decomposes much more quickly than most manufacturing materials. how does the compare-and-contrast organizational pattern of the passage support the author's purpose? a. the passage gradually leads up to the point about decomposition to inform the reader about the importance of recycling plastics. b. the passage lists the advantages and disadvantages of each material to make a case for the use of plastic and not aluminum in containers. c. the passage begins with a description of plastic's problems in order to call attention to the good qualities of aluminum. d. the passage shows the superiority of aluminum in order to make a case for the production of stronger plastics.
