Il-year-old child Tanishq Abraham is in the news for graduating from college with three different degrees. The talented kid from California made headlines last year as well, for completing high school at the age of ten.

Last week's graduation ceremony was attended by Tanishq's parents- his mother Taji, a doctor, and his father Bijou, a software engineer. They cheered for Tanishq as he was awarded associate degrees in math and physical sciences, general science, and language studies. He wore a rainbow colored scarf that his grandmother had made specially for the occasion.

"The assumption is that he's the all-time youngest, "said college spokesman Scott Crow. "But we don't have all the records to completely confirm. He was beyond doubt the youngest this year. ”

Tanishq said that he wasn't frightened by the fact that his classmates were all twice his age, especially because he was well-received. “A lot were really happy that there was a kid in their class, ” he said. And his parents were pretty low-key about the whole affair, being used to all his accomplishments since a young age. “Even in kindergarten, he was a few years ahead. ” Taji said. “It just went from there. ”

Interestingly, Tanishq has been home-schooled by his mother. He's also been taking classes at the American River College since he was seven years old.

You'd probably think that Tanishq is done with books for his life, but he actually has no plans to stop learning. “I want to become a doctor, " he said after the ceremony. “But I also want to become a medical researcher, and also the president of the United States. ” In a tweet, he showed that he hopes to win the Nobel Prize some day in medicine or research. In the meantime, he plans to spend his summer on a family vacation and a Calculus II course.

4. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

A. Tanishq obtained four degrees at a time.

B. Tanishq's family has gone well off after his graduation

C. Tanishq wore a specifically made scarf to his graduation ceremony.

D. Tanishq's family held a party for Tanishq to celebrate his graduation.

5. Why did Tanishq say that he was not afraid of being the youngest at school?

A. Because his classmates were all twice his age.

B. Because his classmates were nice.

C. Because he focused all on study.
