Answer 1

Answer:

Absent-mindedness is where a person shows inattentive or forgetful behavior.[1] It can have three different causes:

a low level of attention ("blanking" or "zoning out")

intense attention to a single object of focus (hyperfocus) that makes a person oblivious to events around him or her;

unwarranted distraction of attention from the object of focus by irrelevant thoughts or environmental events.[2]

Absent-mindedness is a mental condition in which the subject experiences low levels of attention and frequent distraction. Absent-mindedness is not a diagnosed condition but rather a state people experience in their daily lives from a variety of different causes including boredom, sleepiness, or focus on internal thoughts instead of external surroundings. When suffering from absent-mindedness, people tend to show signs of memory lapse and weak recollection of recently occurring events. This can usually be a result of a variety of other conditions often diagnosed by clinicians such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and depression. In addition to absent-mindedness leading to an array of consequences affecting daily life, it can have more severe, long-term problems.

$\huge\fbox\green{Answer}$

In the story when the boy heard others talking about marbles he forgot everything else had he not been absent minded , his shock at returning home would not have been so dreadfull, the feeling of loose would have settled down in him over the day and he would have not gone home expecting his mother to welcome him.

His sensitivity made him weak to the situation thus his forgetfulness was a cure for him.
