He gave me his order and then told me all sorts of superfluous information about himself: how he couldn't find a parking spot near the coffee shop, how he was running late for work, and how he was taking a much-needed vacation next week. While he shared these unnecessary details, a line of annoyed customers gathered behind him
A.

Boring or uninteresting
B.

Extra, or more than needed.
C.

Confusing or difficult to understand
D
.

Polite and friendly in conversation

Answer 1

B — "Extra, or more than needed." In the passage it means the customer gave unnecessary details that weren't relevant to his order, which annoyed the people waiting. The other choices don't fit the context.
