Analyze the question and options

The question asks which detail from the passage best supports the idea that the narrator is passionate about dance.

Evaluate the options based on textual evidence

• Option A discusses a conditioning routine, which shows discipline but is less directly about a deep passion for the art of dance itself.
• Option B ("The technique... is what keeps me coming back to the studio") directly connects the narrator's internal motivation and love for the craft ("keeps me coming back") to the practice of dance.
• Option C is a dialogue question about how long they have been dancing, which is a factual background detail rather than an expression of passion.
• Option D describes the physical space of the studio and other dancers, which is descriptive of the environment rather than the narrator's personal passion.
• Option E describes the narrator's physical exhaustion and soreness, which is a physical consequence of training rather than a direct expression of passion.

Select the best supporting detail

Option B is the strongest choice because it explicitly states what drives the narrator's dedication and continuous return to the art form.

Answer:

• (A) "Our conditioning routine, which we start every morning to stretch our muscles, is the first step..."
• (B) "The technique—the precision and the way everything flows is what keeps me coming back to the studio." (Correct answer)
• (C) "How many years did you say you've been dancing for, my dear?"
• (D) "The studio is full of other dancers, and the energy is amazing."
• (E) "Their muscles are sore, and they're tired, but they're still working hard."
