Read the excerpt from "Dream Season." Miss Wells reached out to touch my shoulder. Miss Wells was always kind and patient. Now, her stern look gave me a jolt.

"Marcus, you’re a bright young man and a good student," she said, "There’s one thing you need to work on though—speaking up in class." . . .

"Tomorrow, I want you to speak up. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Okay?" Miss Wells offered in a voice that had become calm and caring.

Now read the chart.

A 3-column table with 1 row. Column 1 is labeled Information about Miss Wells with entry kind, patient; stern look; calm, caring. Column 2 is labeled My background knowledge with entry Not all teachers gives students individual attention. Column 3 is labeled My inference with entry blank.

Which is the most logical inference to put in the last column?

a)Miss Wells is a boring teacher.
b)Miss Wells is a good teacher.
c)Miss Wells is a nosey teacher.
d)Miss Wells is a strict teacher.
