Answer

Brief Explanations:

The text shows the narrator's initial reaction of acting happy but actually hating the piano from the moment it was brought in. Phrases like "I pretty much hated the thing" and the description of the piano "glaring at me" and being "like a songbird in a cage" wanting to be free all indicate the narrator's feelings towards the piano. There is no mention of brothers being talented (A), no description of the event leading parents to buy it (B), and the narrator didn't want it close (opposite of C).

Answer:

D. It establishes how the narrator feels about the piano.
