Which statement best describes the main character between paragraph 4 and paragraph 10 in the story?

5- “Yep.” I hurried along at the pace of a speed-walker.
6- “I was stuck in those shoes once,” she said. “They took me all the way to Vermont!”
7- “How do I get out of them?” I shouted over my shoulder. By now I was running.
8- “You have to outsmart them,” she yelled back. And she said something else, but by then I was too far away to hear.
9- Great I thought Someone tells me to outsmart a pair of shoes, and I can’t. This doesn’t speak well for my brain.
10- We turned up a dirt path, heading straight for a huge oak. I put my hands over my face, certain I’d smash right into that tree. But my feet started climbing up the trunk! I grabbed the trunk with both hands to keep my balance. We went higher and higher.
