Answer:
(a) The writer points out that Einstein wasn’t talking till the age of two-and-a-half to clarify that outwardly his growth parameters were slower as compared to other children of his age.
(b) When Einstein finally started talking, he used to utter everything twice. This indicated that his speech pattern was unlike what is usually found in young children.
(c) Einstein’s playmates called him “Brother Boring” because he was shy, slow, introvert and did not know the art of interacting with others.
(d) The other word used for ‘speak’ is ‘utter’.Einstein hated the school’s regimentation and often clashed with his teachers. At the age of 15, Einstein felt so stifled there that he left the school for good.
