"Yearnings"

The slab of clay before me, lifeless and lacking ambition, refuses to be molded. "Shape your dreams!" The art teacher says. "Let your hands talk to your hearts!" Nothing- Just unshaped dreams, silent hands, and hardening clay on a painted-streaked table. No directions, no picture, no plot- no grade. So forget about books, laborious numbers and Magellan, empty hallways, ad tardy slips with dim looks. Forget what you know; explore a different shore. Take a breath and fly against the emerging sun. "what are you making?" The art teacher asks. "I see wings." I agree "Yeah, me too."
Which of the following best describes why the speaker of "yearnings" is feeling uncertain?
1. there are no directions or set criteria for the assignment
2. the teacher has shown that she dislikes his artwork
3. He feels more comfortable painting then working with clay
4. He doesn't think he'll have enough time to complete the assignment
is it a?
