Official Explanation
These very intelligent children actually do “fulfill their early promise,” so the blank should indicate that they really are talented in some way. Such children are “prodigies.” Although “teenagers” is tempting because children become teenagers, the sentence says that the children “go on to fulfill their early promise,” implying that they lead extraordinary lives, and teenagerhood is only a short part of someone’s life. The other answers, “cranks,” theorizers,” and “pragmatists” (practical people), are not supported by the sentence.
