Question

select the best evidence to support the statement that the narrator doesnt like doing dangerous things. if you started to squeeze your brakes right in the middle of heading down maple hill, just as you were passing old mr. normores mailbox, you could coast into the bike rack in front of lippys market without making a single tire squeak. that was the fastest way to go, and the most fun too.... i didnt do that anymore, though. now i hopped off my bike at the top of the hill and walked it. it took five times as long but it was lots safer. i got to the store at 7:58—thats what it said on the clock inside. from lisa graff, umbrella summer. copyright 2009 by lisa graff

Explanation:

To support the statement that the narrator doesn't like doing dangerous things, we look for evidence showing the narrator's choice of a safer (less dangerous) action. The sentence "Now I hopped off my bike at the top of the hill and walked it. It took five times as long but it was lots safer." shows the narrator gave up the faster (but potentially more dangerous) way of coasting down the hill and chose to walk the bike, prioritizing safety over speed and fun, which indicates a dislike for dangerous actions.

Answer:

Now I hopped off my bike at the top of the hill and walked it. It took five times as long but it was lots safer.
