Explanation

Reading speed is a term to refer to the speed with which an individual can read and understand a text, this can be measured by words read in a minute. Several studies indicate that the average reading speed of a person is two hundred to two hundred and fifty words per minute. However, some people can read more quickly according to their profession, for example, students, journalists, professors, researchers, among others, who have constant access to texts can read three hundred or more words in a minute. In Carla's case, it is not necessary to read the example three times at the same speed if she has already read and understood it. Therefore, Carla may increase her speed when she has to read it again because she already knows it. So, the correct answer is A. Increase her speed because she already knows the example
