Question restatement: In the novel Rene Leys, what is Rene’s alleged occupation in China?
Options: a) Belgian grocer, b) Student, c) Professor of Political Economy, d) English teacher

Option a: Belgian grocer. This choice suggests Rene runs a small shop or import business in China. The narrative does not present him as a merchant; it tends to frame his role around intellectual or educational pursuits rather than commercial activity. The “grocer” label would also clash with the book’s mood of Austro-Germanic academic or clerical associations, making this option an unlikely alignment with the text’s tone.

Option b: Student. This is the option identified as correct. The novel uses Rene’s identity in China in a way that aligns with being a learner or someone who is embedded in study or scholarly activity in a Chinese setting. The language around his activities in China typically emphasizes study, learning, or engagement with intellectual or priestly circles, which supports the “student” characterization as the alleged occupation rather than a merchant or teacher.

Option c: Professor of Political Economy. Although the idea of a professor could fit with the book’s scholarly atmosphere, the text does not portray Rene as holding a professorial post in China. A professorship implies a formal, faculty-level position within an institution, which is a stronger claim than what the narrative supports for Rene’s role there.

Option d: English teacher. While teaching is a plausible occupation in expatriate contexts, the specific portrayal of Rene in China does not frame him as an English instructor. The emphasis in the story tends to revolve around literary, philosophical, or clerical undertakings rather than language teaching in particular.

In summary, option b aligns most closely with how the narrative describes Rene’s situation in China, whereas the other options conflict with the established cues about his role, duties, or identity within the story. The distinctions hinge on whether the text presents him as a learner in a scholarly milieu (student) rather than as a merchant, a formal academic professor, or a language teacher, each of which would carry different implications for his interactions and status in the setting.
