Question

In "A Wagner Matinée," what can the reader most likely infer about Aunt Georgiana from reading that she "would often stand until midnight at her ironing board, … gently shaking me when my drowsy head sank down over a page of irregular verbs"?

Answer 1

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

"a. She started her working-day late . b. she preferred ironing to learning . c. she cared about her nephew's schooling . d. she disliked the study of latin verbs"

Answer:

c. she cared about her nephew's schooling

Step-by-step explanation:

The above sentence shows that Aunt Georgiana cared a lot about her nephew's education, as it encouraged him to study until late at night, even if it would not bring any benefit to her. It helped him to study and prevented him from sleeping in the most boring and difficult studies, such as irregular verbs.

She was very dedicated and wanted her nephew to have a good education to ensure a successful path.
