What did Stacey take away from T. J. on their morning walk to school? A.)a cap
B.)a tin can lunch
C.)his backpack
D.)cheat notes

D). Cheat Notes

Explanation:

In the context of 'Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry' by Mildred D. Taylor, T.J. shows the cheat notes that he has made to cheat in the class to Stacey but he takes them away from him and rips them off. Later, he sees that T.J. was prepared with another set of cheat notes in the class. Later, when Mama approaches, he traps Stacey and he himself takes the blame to preserve his honor(reflecting the distinction between the status of two different races) and then, moves to the Wallace Store for beating T.J. for his act. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
