B. Miranda will no longer be Mrs. Brody's assistant.
C. Miranda did not finish her book report on time.
D. Miranda will ask Mr. Giuffreda for an extension.

C). Miranda did not finish her book report on time.

Explanation:

The inference that can be made on the basis of this passage would be that 'Miranda did not finish her book report on time.' This conclusion can be made on the basis of the evidence like 'At 8:55, ...she had 402 words', 'her fingers were still flying at 8:59 when Mrs. Brody asked Miranda to leave.' These descriptions clearly suggest that she could not complete her report on time and this is supplemented when the author says 'she trudged down the hall to Mr. Giuffreda’s class as slowly as possible' despite knowing that she may get detention as a consequence of being late. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
