How does Ryan feel immediately after Angela tags him and makes him ‘It', but before he starts running? Support your answer with evidence from the text.

After being tagged by Angela, Ryan freezes. He is surprised and a bit scared.

Explanation:

"Tag--I'm It!" is a story by W.M. Akers . Ryan is a boy who pretends to be a commentator while the other kids play tag on the playground. The truth is that Ryan would rather be playing with the others, but the kids do not want him to play. They never chase him nor run from him. So, he found his own way of participating, which is by narrating the game.

However, this time there is new girl playing. Angela does not know the other kids usually leave Ryan out. She sees him narrating the game, interrupts him, and tags him. Ryan freezes, though. He does not know what to do now that he is finally "it" after such a long time of not playing. He wonders if the other kids will actually play with him this time:

Ryan froze. He hadn't been 'It' for a long time. He didn't know what to do. The rest of the  players stopped, too, and stared at him. If he moved, would they move too? Or would they  stand there, waiting for him to quit embarrassing himself and get off the playground?

In the end, he chases Angela and ends up having a lot of fun.

The right answer is D
