Benjamin Banneker was born in Maryland in 1731, the son of a woman who was a freed slave, and a free-born father. Largely self taught, he did formally study with a Quaker friend until he was old enough to work on his family’s farm. By 1788, again with the help of neighboring Quakers, Banneker had begun to study astronomy. The next year, he calculated a solar eclipse. Soon, Banneker found work with a surveyor, who was marking the territory that would eventually become the original District of Columbia. He used his astronomical observations to mark a starting location for the surveyors, and maintained a clock that related the positions of the stars to points on the ground.
Poor health and a long delay in the surveying kept Banneker from staying with the project. Instead he turned his attention to further astronomical calculations, eventually publishing a series of almanacs which were hugely popular. These accurately predicted both coming solar and lunar eclipses. That Banneker was an African-American scientist in a time period that routinely attributed low intelligence and potential to his race only makes his achievements more remarkable.

C. Because of prejudice against his race, he had to have shown great determination.
D. He started studying stars from a very early age.
E. The surveyors must have taught him how to use the tools of their trade.

4. The passage LEAST supports the inference that
Explanation
The passage mentions that Benjamin Banneker published a series of almanacs that accurately predicted solar and lunar eclipses, and these almanacs were hugely popular. This indicates that astronomy, as presented in Banneker's almanacs, was of significant interest to the general reading public. The passage supports the idea that the general public had an interest in astronomy, making option (E) incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer should be an inference that is not directly supported by the passage. In this case, it's option (E). The passage's emphasis on the popularity of Banneker's almanacs containing astronomical predictions contradicts this inference, which is why it is the LEAST supported option.
