By conviction, the father was ____________.
Answer: C
By conviction the father was an upholder of reason and rationality.
The poem calls him 'sceptic, rationalist'. A rationalist holds that beliefs should rest on reason and evidence, and a sceptic doubts claims made without proof, which is the meaning of upholding reason.
He is not called an atheist, and a confirmed atheist is a stronger claim than the poem makes. He is not a devotee of God or a believer in destiny, since he tries every curse and blessing, powder and herb in turn, and even pours paraffin on the toe, which is practical action, not trust in fate.
