Two years later he joined his sisters Zen and Jesia at the home of his elder brother Tom, who was to become a successful occultist in Paris. However, the economic success of the family was yet to be and Alex was forced to leave school for economic reasons. When he was fifteen he obtained a job in shipping company.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The phrase "He was a quick student" describes a characteristic of Alex's learning ability.
- In academic contexts, "quick" refers to the speed at which someone understands and learns new information.
- Therefore, a "quick student" is someone who is a fast learner.
- Option 1) reached School before his sisters: This relates to physical speed or timing of arrival, not academic ability.
- Option 2) reached the school-leaving age: While the sentence mentions his age afterward, "quick student" refers to his intellect, not simply his age.
- Option 3) was a lively student too soon: "Lively" means energetic, which is not the primary meaning of "quick" in the context of learning speed. "Too soon" is also irrelevant here.
