Read the passage. The headmistress of the boarding school was a buttoned-up, austere woman with a tightly wound, slate-gray bun

at the top of her head and clunky black shoes on her feet. She made sure that our uniforms were complete at inspection every morning, and if one of us dared to wear a warmer pair of socks than the thin, oatmeal-colored ones we were issued, there would be trouble. What does the use of the word austere imply? that the headmistress is concerned about her students that the headmistress is not a kind person that the headmistress is kind to some students that the headmistress is uncomfortable

Answer:

The word austere implies that she is a very strict woman and she means business. No, it does not mean the headmistress is not a nice person. It means that she is very serious or presents an attitude to show strictness.

I believe the first sentence makes the most sense. Notice how the words flow smoothly and are not choppy?
A good tip is to read out the sentence as if you were speaking to someone. If it sounds off, that's most likely not the answer. If it flows nicely and is relatively pleasant to the ear, that is the most likely answer.

Hope this helped!
