What idea is strengthened by Einstein's slow beginning in childhood?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Talent can develop despite early weakness
The governing concept is the difference between an early appearance and a person’s eventual potential. Einstein’s delayed speech and unusual childhood could have led others to underestimate him, but they did not prevent the growth of his intelligence, curiosity, or scientific ability. His later achievements show that development is not always immediate or easily visible. Option B is correct because it expresses the lesson of possibility and perseverance: early weakness does not permanently define a person. Option A is contradicted by the story, C is an unjustified absolute, and D falsely treats music as an obstacle to science rather than one part of Einstein’s broad personality.
