Why does the narrator most likely refer to the deans by their titles rather than their names?

Read this excerpt from "Eavesdropping" by Eudora Welty and answer the question.

What they talked about, I have no idea … . It was no doubt whatever a young married couple spending their first time privately in each other’s company in the long, probably harried day would talk about. It was the murmur of their voices, the back-and-forth, the unnoticed stretching away of time between my bedtime and theirs, that made me bask there at my distance. What I felt was not that I was excluded from them but that I was included, in – and because of – what I could hear in their voices and what I could see of their faces in the cone of yellow light under the brown-scorched shade.

In this excerpt, Welty’s diction best suggests she is writing to what possible audience?

young married couples who want to improve their relationship
young people who read
thoughtful readers interested in writing and literature
students in college

Becoming a Dragon Champion (excerpt) Lotta Carl “I’ll never get Remus ready for the competition at this rate!” Jada said. Jada stood up and wiped the dust off her cloak. She had fallen onto the ground after Remus, her pet dragon, had accidentally knocked her over with his tail. Remus was still a young dragon and had not yet mastered taking off, landing, or other important dragon skills. Remus walked over to Jada and put his head down. “It’s okay, buddy,” she said. “Miguel, can you help me put Remus back into the barn? I don’t want to be late for the first-day banquette.” “Come on, Remus,” said Miguel. “Follow Igor back to the barn.” Remus obeyed Miguel’s command and followed Igor, whose dragon skills were a little more developed, back to the barn. “Don’t be discouraged, Jada,” said Miguel. It takes a long time for these dragons to learn to fly properly. Igor is a little more advanced because he is a few months older than Remus.” “I know. But the Dragon Championship is only a month away, and I’ve already seen some dragons soaring over the school and even breathing fire!” she said. “Well, we had better go in and join the banquet. Everyone will be wondering where we are.” By the time the friends walked into the hall, most of the students had already started eating. Jada and Miguel walked through the line, filled their plates with food, and took a seat at one of the long tables. Jada and Miguel were second-year students at the Greenhaven Academy. Jada was one of only thirty students accepted to the school last year.

Which is the best description of the relationship established between Jada and Miguel? A) Jada is jealous of Miguel. B) Miguel is jealous of Jada. C) Jada is supportive of Miguel. DE) Miguel is supportive of Jada.
