Question:
DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.


The years passed too quickly. In 1940 Nani finished his B.A. with honors in English, and in 1942 his M.A. with honors in the same subject. In these exams he could not complete his papers because the writer’s cramp that was to haunt’ him for the rest of his life had begun to appear. For the first LLB. examination he was given a writer. The person sent for the morning paper was so incompetent that Nani refused to continue with him and came out of the examination hall exasperated. Nargesh immediately contacted the Vice-Chancellor of the University, who, directed the supervisor at the examination centre to allow Nargesh himself to substitute. Another writer/was sent for the afternoon paper and those to follow. He subsequent examinations-second LLB, Advocate AS and Advocate OS.


An interesting anecdote is recounted by Jayashella Badami, who was told about, it by her cousin Kishore Nanavty. Justice P.S. Badami, Jayashella’s father, was one of the examiners for law exams. Once, while he was correcting papers, he asked Kishore to have a look at one paper, and commented that it was extremely well written, well focused, accurate and in proper order. He said he thought the student deserved to be ranked number one and that he would give him full marks for the paper. Since the answer book did not bear the name of the examinee, Kishore, a curious youngster, a later date. When the results were published, Kishore looked for the name matching the seat number. He found the name Nani Palkhivala.


On completing his B.A., Nani’s desire was to be a college lecturer. It went well with his taste for literature, and his professors had given him all the encouragement he needed. He even applied for a lecturer’s post but another lady candidate was equally well-qualified and had the teaching experience too, which Nani did not have. So he did not get selected.


After his M.A. Nani wanted to join the Indian Civil Service (ICS). This was around 1942, when the war was on and written examination were being held in Delhi. In the 1940s, the ICS held a fascination for bright young students for whom it was the ultimate career. Though Nani seldom spoke about it in his later years, he apparently treated the civil service examination as something of a challenge. Nargesh, too was very keen that he take his ICS papers. Accustomed to standing first in whatever studies he undertook, and winning prizes, medals and scholarship almost as a habit, Nani no doubt felt that he could top the list of successful candidates even in the civil service examination, if only he had a chance to appear for it. Nani made two attempts says Behram. The first time, he was disqualified in the preliminary physical test. Thereupon he regularly did a lot of exercise to built up his body. Next time, he was declared physically fit, but an epidemic broke out in Delhi and, considering the anxiety of his dear ones, he did not send his application form for the written examination, for which a time-limit had been set. It did indeed seem the limit expired, the venue for the examination was moved from Delhi to Bombay on account of the epidemic. The net result was that Nani could not make it to  the ICS. It did not bother Nani’s father. Ardeshir, who wanted his son to be a lawyer. Ardeshir used to say. Become a lawyer, my son, you are cut out for law, ‘The father saw that Nani had a sharp, analytical, incisive mind that put him a cut above ordinary mortals. He could see that as a lawyer Nani would grow in status and reputation. Nani was later on say : ‘My father was of the view that I would not enjoy being anybody’s servant- not even the government’s - and he thought that I would not enjoy being anybody’s servant - not event the government’s- and he thought that I would do well  in the legal profession.’ The father knew his son’s mind better than the son himself. In the end what the Civil Service lost, the legal profession gained.

The passage gives an account of Nani’s: 

Options:
A) Experience of appearing for examination
B) Establishment of a career
C) Personality and character
D) None of the above
