To determine the correct answer to why the nightly knocking at the temple finally stopped in "Old Man of the Temple" by R.K. Narayan, we need to understand the story's plot.
In this story, the narrator encounters an old man who is consistently knocking on the doors of the temple at night. The old man claims to have lost his way and desires to return to his wife. The narrator, sympathetic towards the old man's plight, helps him by taking him in his taxi and searching for his wife's address.
Now, let's evaluate the answer choices:
A. The narrator helped the old man find his way to his wife.
Based on the given plot, this seems like a plausible choice. If the narrator successfully helps the old man find his wife, it would give the old man a sense of closure and eliminate the need for him to knock on the temple's doors each night.
B. They drove the old man out of town so he wouldn't bother the temple anymore.
This answer choice does not align with the events of the story. The narrator's intention was to assist the old man, not drive him out of town. There is no mention of forcing the old man to leave or the temple being bothered by his presence.
C. The taxi driver had run over and killed the old man; he was no longer able to knock on the doors each night.
This answer choice contradicts the information provided in the story. While the old man is depicted as being fragile and weak, there is no indication that he meets with any unfortunate accident and is unable to continue knocking on the temple doors.
D. The narrator took the old man into his home so he had a place to stay.
This answer choice also does not align with the events of the story. Although the narrator initially takes the old man in his taxi, there is no mention of him taking the old man into his home permanently. The focus of the story is primarily on helping the old man reunite with his wife.
By process of elimination, the correct answer is A. The narrator helped the old man find his way to his wife, which ultimately resolved the situation and put an end to the nightly knocking at the temple.
