OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
B
The clue in this sentence is Thomas's mastery of Shakespeare at the age of eight. A prediction might be that he was an advanced child. Choice (B) gifted matches this prediction.
Thomas's decisions and development were not characterized in the sentence, so choices (A) impetuous, "rash,"(C) inchoate, "not fully developed," and (E) guileless, "sincere or straightforward," are all out of scope. Choice (D) experienced is also out of scope since it suggests mastery through a great number of experiences. Since Thomas is only eight, he is too young to be greatly experienced at anything.
