Abram · Answer 1

The answer is C

Explanation:

In the story it states "In his teens, Albert was so inspired by one of his teachers that he suddenly became very studious. In just one term he shot from the bottom of his class to the top, and there seemed to be no stopping him. He entered college at the age of eighteen and selected not one, but three courses of study: theology, philosophy, and musical theory. Meanwhile, he continued to improve his skills on the organ. In fact, a famous French composer and organist, Charles-Marie Widor, was so impressed by Albert's talent that he decided to teach him for free. Soon Albert was a top player getting paid for concerts."
