His temperament, always ebullient and radiant, presented him as a clever, eager, cheerful, emotional and always highly illusioned person with so collie-like a warmth that one found him compelling interest and even admiration.

In this context, the adjective "lithesome" means "nimble". "Nimble" is used to describe someone or something that moves in a quick, exact, easy and attractive way, that is to say, that is agile, flexible and graceful. "Lithesome" means the same, with the difference that lithesome is most commonly used for a person's body, as it is used in the paragraph to describe the man.

Answer:

This text:

Although his name is well known, dew know the facts surrounding the curious childhood of this gifted author.

Is a 2. transition

Explanation:

The reasons backing this answer are:

First conclusions always summarize the elements provided and stand out a finish statement of the author's perspective. Second, Introductions always present the topic, the perspective of the author, and the reason behind the presentation of the information. In our case, we only see information about a certain idea and contrasted it with the opposite, therefore it is a transition.
