In the library passage, the writer says the librarian 'welcomes' visitors. What does this suggest?
The town library stands on a quiet street, and its doors open early. The librarian welcomes each visitor with a smile and often knows which book a reader will enjoy. On Saturday mornings toddlers come for story hour, while students study at long wooden tables. People lower their voices out of respect for those who are reading. For many families the library is a second home, a place where anyone can borrow a book and discover something new.

- Step 1: 'Welcomes' means to greet in a kind way. Step 2. So the librarian is friendly and pleased. Answer: friendly and glad. Why not the others: the others give the opposite meaning or add things not stated.
