Question 6 • * SY2025-26 - 1001010-M/J Language Arts 1 Sem 1 CR

Jada has been asked to respond to this excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.I found that at college I could get help from my teachers with solving business problems and in learning new techniques for designing new things. I enjoyed talking to my professors and learning physics and other complex subjects—but I never had time to go to class. I literally never went to class. My professors were mentors and private tutors. The professors gave me as much time as they reasonably could. Every once in a while one would say, "Sorry, I've got to go teach a class"—and leave.

Answer
A
Kamen was a lazy college student.
B
Kamen had a strong desire to learn.
C
Kamen's favorite subject was physics.
D
Kamen paid his professors to tutor him.

Explanation

Kamen says he enjoyed learning physics and other complex subjects and regularly talked with professors who helped him learn. Even though he did not attend class, he actively sought out his professors as mentors and tutors, showing a strong desire to learn. The excerpt does not say that physics was his favorite subject or that he paid his professors.
