Question

Which of the following inferences about Rosa Parks is best supported by the passage below? When I got off from work that evening of December 1, I went to Court Square as usual to catch the Cleveland Avenue bus home. I didn't look to see who was driving when I got on, and by the time I recognized him, I had already paid my fare. It was the same driver who had put me off the bus back in 1943, twelve years earlier. He was still tall and heavy, with red, rough-looking skin. And he was still mean-looking. I didn't know if he had been on that route before—they switched the drivers around sometimes. I do know that most of the time if I saw him on a bus, I wouldn't get on it. Answer choices for the above question A. She has always hated that bus driver. B. She regrets getting on that particular bus. C. She prefers walking to riding on the bus. D. She was not looking for a fight that day.
