Yes, the answer is C. Squeaky being responsible for taking care of Raymond is not part of the rising action. To determine this, let's briefly discuss what rising action refers to in a story.

Rising action refers to the series of events in a narrative that build up the conflict and tension, leading towards the climax of the story. These events usually develop the plot, introduce the main characters, and reveal their motivations or goals.

Now, let's analyze each option you provided:

A. Squeaky and Raymond confront Mary Louise and her friends on Broadway.
This event introduces conflict and tension, as it involves a confrontation between Squeaky and Mary Louise and her friends. It contributes to the rising action.

B. Mr. Pearson hints to Squeaky that she should consider letting the new girl win.
This event adds to the conflict and tension by introducing the idea of Squeaky considering letting someone else win. It is part of the rising action.

C. Squeaky is responsible for taking care of Raymond.
This statement focuses on Squeaky's responsibility towards Raymond, but it does not contribute to the rising action. It provides background information about their relationship but does not actively develop the plot or conflict.

D. Squeaky practices her running to prepare for the race.
This event represents Squeaky's preparation for the race, which is directly related to her goals and motivations. It contributes to the rising action.

Therefore, option C, "Squeaky is responsible for taking care of Raymond," is not part of the rising action.
