Answer ! read the passage from the phantom tollbooth.

"does everyone here grow the way you do? " puffed milo when he had caught up.

"almost everyone," replied alec, and then he stopped a moment and thought. "now and then, though, someone does begin to grow differently. instead of down, his feet grow up toward the sky. but we do our best to discourage awkward things like that."

"what happens to them? " insisted milo.

"oddly enough, they often grow ten times the size of everyone else," said alec thoughtfully, "and i've heard that they walk among the stars." and with that he skipped off once again toward the waiting woods.

what conclusion can be drawn about how alec views the people who "walk among the stars"?

he is jealous of them.
he is afraid of them.
he is inspired by them.
he is unimpressed by them.
