Answer

Brief Explanations:

The narrator mentions using a "Collected Shakespeare set" which is a literary reference. This shows a level of knowledge and interest in literature that is more advanced, making Oskar seem mature for his age. The other options are not as strongly supported. His curiosity (while present) doesn't make him seem childish as he is taking steps (using chair and books) to solve a problem. The text doesn't focus on dramatic talent (only a mention of being Yorick) and there's no real indication of great ingenuity in the plan (just using common objects - chair and books).

Answer:

His literary references render him mature for his age.
