Answer 1

The correct option is C precocious

Here, the adjective 'precocious', which means having developed certain abilities or inclinations at an earlier age than is usual or expected, best fits the given context of the sentences and conveys what the sentence means to say. Thus C is the answer.

A precocious child, she was soon bored in class; she already knew more mathematics than her junior school teachers.
