Who, according to the narrator, had an invincible distaste for anything to do with pens and paper?

  • A.Mackintosh
  • B.Walker
  • C.Natives
  • D.The governor of Samoa

Answer: B

According to the narrator, it was Walker who had an invincible distaste for anything to do with pens and paper. The passage gives this as Mackintosh's private reflection on why Walker was late with the report: Walker was so illiterate that he disliked writing work of every kind.

Mackintosh is the one who is actually writing the report, so the distaste cannot be his. The natives are only the people waiting in the office, and the governor of Samoa is the person who had been asking for the report. Only Walker is described as disliking pens and paper.
