Question

Which excerpt from "Raymond's Run” uses the narrative voice to make a judgment about a character’s behavior?

And tomorrow I’m subject to run the quarter-meter relay all by myself and come in first, second, and third. The big kids call me Mercury ‘cause I’m the swiftest thing in the neighborhood.
He can beat me to Amsterdam Avenue with me having a two-fire-hydrant head start and him running with his hands in his pockets and whistling. But that’s private information.
Or like last week when she won the spelling bee for the millionth time. “A good thing you got ‘receive’ Squeaky, ‘cause I would have got it wrong. I completely forgot about the spelling bee.” And she’ll clutch the lace on her blouse like it was some narrow escape. Oh, brother.
And on the other side of the fence is Raymond with his arms down to his side and the palms tucked up behind him, running in his very own style, and it’s the first time I ever saw that and I almost stop to watch my brother Raymond on his first run.

The excerpt that uses the narrative voice to make a judgment about a character’s behavior is:

"Oh, brother."

This phrase conveys the narrator's annoyance or dismissal towards the character being described (the one who won the spelling bee), reflecting a judgmental attitude towards her behavior, which seems to be perceived as overly dramatic or self-important. The use of "Oh, brother" indicates a sense of exasperation and suggests that the narrator does not admire or respect this character's actions.
