Answer:
C. He used to want to do well on the tests, now he is frustrated by them.
Explanation:
"Flowers for Algernon" is a short story, and later a novel, by Daniel Keyes.
The main character is Charlie Gordon, a 37 years old mentally challenged man, who was chosen for a surgery that will increase his IQ.
As a preparation for the surgery, in a process of checking if he is the adequate subject for the treatment, Charlie is given multiple tests to solve.
Completely oblivious of the meaning of these tests, Charlie tries his best to pass them, so he can become smarter.
Discouraged by the reactions of his examiners, Charlie loses hope that he will be chosen and gives his best effort to do well on the tests.
After the surgery, he is given a small TV and required to keep watching and listening to it eveb when he's sleeping. After a while, this habit becomes frustrating and pointless to him, suggesting that he really is becoming smarter.
