The implication of this sentence is that Lauren's brother had a student record that reflected his many punishments. Her record is contrasted to this, as we can tell by the use of the word "unlike" at the beginning of the sentence. We sometimes speak of a record with nothing bad on it as being "clean." The word "immaculate" meanswithout spot, blemish, or flaw. A somewhat familiar use of this word is found in the Catholic religion's holiday called, "The Immaculate Conception." It is so named because of their belief that Jesus's mother was born without sin—i.e. was "clean."

Pay attention to the use of the conjunction "although." This indicates that there is a contrast between Hildegard and Willibrord. In particular, the contrast is being made between her strictness and his attitude. The point is that he is much less "strict," and the only word that primarily indicates such a "looser" attitude is "lenient," which can meanpermissive. Clearly, he permits his children to do a number of things that Hildegard would not likely allow.

Two things must be noted in order to get this question correct. First, note the use of the conjunction "although." This means that there will be a contrast between the apparent mildness of the punishment and Cajetan's response.

Only the word "tormenting" expresses what must have been a very strong emotional reaction on the part of Cajetan.

Note carefully the contrast implied in the sentence. Dunstan's talent is compared to the "devoted work" that he undertook. He eventually because quite talented in "ancient languages." Thus, he did not lack the capacity to develop these skills to a high degree, but he had to work hard at becoming accomplished at them. Thus, he did not have a natural orinborn skillat them. This is exactly what is meant by the adjective "innate." Something that is innate is literallyinborn. The "-nate" portion of the word comes from the same roots not only as "natural" but also "nativity" and "native." They come from the Latin forbirth.

唯一的线索,你这句话是the use of the word "exhaustion" in the introductory clause. The general idea being asserted is that while "exhaustion" is generally associated with physical work, emotional stress can also causegreat tiredness(exhaustion) as well.
