Kate · Answer 1

William reads a lot of books and manjiro asks a lot of questions I believe is correct

Skylar Lopez · Answer 2

William reads a lot of books from the library; Manjiro asks a lot of questions

Explanation:

As stated in "Heart of a Samurai" and "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind," both Manjiro and William are enthusiastic about discovering and acquiring new information. In that matter, the fat that Manjiro has an inquiring and demanding personality, and that William is keen on reading books from the library is evidence enough to support Stephon's argument about the boys' longing for knowledge.
