That child, Barrett, is very curious. Which supporting evidence supports that the child, Barrett, is very curious.

He was reciting the alphabet when he was only three years old. By age seven, he was doing math at a fourth-grade level. He skipped third and fifth grades.
His favorite word is “NO!” He doesn’t start picking up his toys until the fifth or sixth time he is told. Mealtime is a battle to get him to eat properly.
He has taken apart all the clocks in the house to see how they work. He borrowed his father’s hammer to break rocks because he “wanted to see what they looked like inside.” He is forever asking questions that start with “How” and “Why.”
