Read the excerpt from the boy who harnessed the wind by william kamkwamba.
one saturday, gilbert met me in the library and we flipped through books we thought might be fun. i couldn't study all the time. one book that caught my attention was the malawi junior integrated science book, used by form four students. hmm, i thought, and flipped it open. there were lots of pictures and diagrams, which i found easy to understand. i saw pictures of cancer and scabies and children stricken with kwashiorkor, like so many who'd wandered the country. one picture had a man in a shiny silver suit walking on the moon.
what is the primary idea that the details in the excerpt tell a reader about kamkwamba?

He is intelligent despite his lack of education.

Explanation:

William Kamkwamba is a boy who left the poverty of his village lost in the misery of East Africa to study, after inventing, at the age of 14, a wind energy catchment system allowing to pump water to irrigate the land and allow its cultivation in times of drought and famine as he himself lived in his childhood with his family.

William lived under very precarious living conditions and almost no opportunity to study, but as you can see from the excerpt shown in the above question he had a great deal of understanding in scientific terms, graphs and diagrams, which shows us that William is intelligent despite of lack of education.
