We heard racket about there being mysteries behind these gates, but sauntering up to them ourselves was a whole entire experience. I’m talking classic horror movie stuff—creaky branches, howling wind, ominous clouds covering the sun at just the right time. Wowee, if we were the type of kids to get spooked, we would have been. But me and K.P. just smirked at each other and got ready to explore.
How do the words racket, sauntering, and smirked impact the paragraph’s overall meaning?

The correct response is:
They imply the narrator considers the adventure a joke.
The words "racket," "sauntering," and "smirked" suggest a lighthearted and somewhat playful attitude towards the spooky experience, indicating that the narrator does not take the situation seriously and finds it amusing rather than frightening.
