Answer:
From the paragraph:
A girl from the countryside, she hadn’t gone through all the stages of worldly experience that generally precede a position of importance and sophistication that she had found herself catapulted into. She never quite recovered from the terror she felt that day. That was the end of a brief and brilliant acting career — the legal adviser, who was also a member of the Story Department, had unwittingly brought about that sad end . While every other member of the Department wore a kind of uniform — khadi dhoti with a slightly oversized and clumsily tailored white khadi shirt — the legal adviser wore pants and a tie and sometimes a coat that looked like a coat of mail. Often he looked alone and helpless.
Checking the Options:
- Well-planned act- This is not relevant and hence it is not correct .
- Unintentional act - Unwittingly means unintentional. So,this is correct
- Act of jealousy - This is not relevant and hence it is not correct .
- Act of male dominance - This is not relevant and hence it is not correct .
So, the correct answer is Option B.
