Comprehension Passage

Read the passage given below and answer the question that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate option:

He had left his village without any previous thought or plan. If he had continued there he would have carried on the work of his forefathers-namely, tilling the land, living, marrying and ripening in his cornfield and ancestral home. But that was not to be. He had to leave home without telling anyone, and he could not rest till he left behind a couple of hundred miles. To a villager it is a great deal, as if an ocean flowed in between.

He had a working analysis of mankind's troubles: Marriage, Money and tangles of human ties. Long practice had sharpened his perception. Within five minutes he understood what was wrong. He charged three pies per question, never opened his mouth till the other had spoken for at least ten minutes, which provided him enough stuff for a dozen answers and advice. When he told the person before him gazing at his palm, 'In many ways you are not getting the fullest results for your efforts', nine out of ten were disposed to agree with him. Or, he questioned: 'Is there any woman in your family, may be even a distant relative, who is not well disposed towards you'? Or, he gave an analysis of character: Most of your troubles are due to your nature. How can you be otherwise, with Saturn where he is? You have an impetuous nature and a rough exterior. This endeared him to their hearts immediately, for even the mildest of us loves to think that he has a forbidding exteriors.

"Provided him enough stuff for a dozen answers".
