Question

the dreamer
dreams are beautiful. they go beyond your imagination and create a world so special that you start living in it. i was a dreamer once, and still am today. i still have the same dream that i had as a young boy. the problem is that i grew, but my dream did not. i always wanted to be an artist. i love the smooth texture of canvas and the colors, shades, and lines that give life to what seems to be a lifeless picture.
my dream began in a boring math class. i never liked numbers, as they never made any sense to me. for me, they never spoke a word. i started making ducks out of 5s and watermelons out of 0s before the math teacher caught me!

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the excerpt. The narrator describes disliking math class, not understanding numbers, and creating ducks and watermelons from 0s, implying a lack of focus on math (not listening well). The other options: "did not have anyone to talk to" – the text says "they never spoke a word" (numbers), not people. "was not a very good dreamer" – the text says the narrator is a dreamer. "was not able to pursue his dream" – the excerpt focuses on math class behavior, not dream pursuit. So the best choice is "did not listen very well in math class".

Answer:

did not listen very well in math class
