Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Forgiving,

Lenient Meaning (of punishment or a person in authority) permissive, merciful, or tolerant. In the context of the sentence.

It also makes sense in context. If the teachers were demanding, why would she say "Except for Miss Streator. She gave out the words just the same as if we hadn’t had six weeks to forget them in.”
