Answer: I'd choose
'Tommy is an imaginative boy who yearns or adventure.'
Explanation: My reasoning is he goes into more depth about wanting to be on the ship and what adventures he'd have and how he'd seek his fortune and his more 'imaginative' wording instead of talking about his hometown, or knowing more about ships at his age because it does not mention other boys his age, and Tommy spends to much time at the rivers edge watching ships isn't exactly what your supposed to get from the paragraph, I mean yeah you could, but it isn't the best answer/the one they are looking for.
