Lucas was a voracious reader, absorbing novels, biographies, and popular science books. His standardized test scores were all quite high. He also got along fine with other kids during recess, laughing and playing like a perfectly normal twelve-year-old. But when the bell rang for class, his facial expression changed. An observer might have been reminded of a prisoner returning to his cell. In class, Lucas was one of those kids who slouched at his desk in the back of the room, gazing out a window or trying to find ways to allay his boredom. To that end, he often drew pictures of spaceships. He also drew pictures of dragons attacking spaceships. When truly inspired, he drew pictures of alien monsters attacking dragons, thus allowing his spaceships to escape to distant galaxies. Indeed, the inside of his desk was a dense clutter of these fanciful sketches. By late afternoon, too drowsy for dragons, alien monsters, or spaceships, Lucas would gaze hopefully at the white clock on the wall, willing the second hand to move faster, faster. Of course, it never moved faster, and, inevitably, he would only become more and more impatient with the painfully slow movement of the hour hand.

24. The main idea we can get from this paragraph is that
A. Lucas was obsessed with science fiction.
B. Lucas was irresponsible, but artistic.
C. Lucas was smart and creative, but bored with school.
D. Lucas was poorly adjusted and possibly mentally ill.

The answer is C They tell you in the beginnig he is smart, and he is creative with his pictures. The rest of the paragraph is how he was so bored with school, looking out the window, impatient, etc.

I WOULD SAY C. OBVIOUSLY HE IS BORED BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO CHALLENGE HIS INTELLECT. HE SHOULD BE PLACED IN A HIGHER GRADE LEVEL OR AT THE VERY LEAST,ALLOWED TO DO HIGHER GRADE LEVEL WORK IN THE GRADE THAT HE IS IN.
