Ok, so I'm going to try my best to answer this.
My best guess would be how he said that he was able to see his answer through whoever he is talking to, then lose it again. He understood and got something, then lost it's understanding. I sincerely hope this helps.. I'm sorry I'm not very good at explaining. ^^;
I'm gonna guess A because it would seem most likely considering that we don't have the context.....
It is B) He is considered to be an outsider. i got it right on my exam
