.aIn 1879, Albert Einstein was born. He was so painfully quiet and shy that his parents worried that there was something wrong with him. They even considered whether to take him for a medical checkup. In fact, Albert did not speak until he was three or four years old. Then suddenly, over supper, he said, “The soup is too hot.” _______________ “Because,” little Albert replied, “up to now, everything has been fine.” Is this story true? There’s no proof.
(A) Greatly relieved, his parents asked him why he had never said anything before.
(B) His parents were angry at him and told him off for speaking so late.
(C) Mrs. Einstein went into shock, and Albert’s father sat speechless for one minute.
(D) Albert’s servant blanched for a few moments and then took care of the soup.
