(e) Why did Evans not take off his hat when Jackson ordered him to do so?                                                                [3] [OD, 2019 SET - I]

Answer:

(e) Evans had long wavy hair and covered it with a hat as after the exam he was going to impersonate Mcleery and escape from the prison. Mcleery had short hair so Evans had cropped up his hair and did it under the hat. He confided in Jackson that the hat was the only lucky charm that had brought him luck in his life and so refused to take off his hat.
