The following is from a contemporary novel. Mira had taught the same introductory poetry course for twenty-three years. She still arrived fifteen minutes early on the first day of every term, still wrote out her opening remarks in fountain pen the night before, still felt the slight unsteadiness in her hands when she stepped into the lecture hall. Younger colleagues sometimes asked how she kept the course "fresh." Mira would smile and say only that she had not yet figured out how to keep it stale.
Which inference is most strongly supported by the passage?
- A
Mira finds her teaching a routine she has stopped attending to carefully
- B
Mira regrets having taught the course for so many years
- Ccheck_circle
Mira treats her long-running course with continued attention rather than as routine
- D
Mira's younger colleagues teach the same course
Explanation
Early arrival, written remarks, unsteady hands, and her wry comment indicate continued care, supporting B. A and C contradict the description; D is unsupported.
