Explanation
The key clue is “revisit the same handful of lecture anecdotes semester after semester.”
This suggests the professor tends to go on at length / wander in her speech, rather than being brief or precise.
The two best answers are:
A. meandering — wandering from the main point; not direct.
D. rambling — lengthy and unfocused, often involving repeated stories.
Answer: A,D
