Answer 1

Answer:

a) Einstein

A headmaster once told his father that what Einstein chose as a profession wouldn't matter, because “he'll never make a success at anything.”

b)"amateur" (and any subsequent words) was ignored because we limit queries to 32 words.

c)a person who engages in a pursuit, especially a sport, on an unpaid rather than a professional basis.

d)The headmaster of Einstein's school told Einstein's father that Einstein would never be successful in whatever profession he chose. Einstein began learning to play the violin at the age of six, because his mother wanted him to; he later became a gifted amateur violinist, maintaining this skill throughout his life.
