To answer this question, we need to have some knowledge about the character Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes, a fictional detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is known for his sharp intellect and attention to detail. He is often depicted as a pipe smoker, and he has a specific hiding place for his tobacco.
Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) On top of the cupboard - This option is incorrect because Sherlock Holmes did not keep his tobacco on top of the cupboard. There is no mention of this in the stories.
Option B) In his wallet - This option is incorrect because Sherlock Holmes did not keep his tobacco in his wallet. It would be an unusual place to store tobacco.
Option C) In his slippers - This option is correct because Sherlock Holmes kept his tobacco in his slippers. In the story "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle," Watson discovers Holmes's tobacco stash hidden in the toe of one of his slippers.
Option D) In his pouch - This option is incorrect. Although it may seem like a plausible answer since a pouch is a common place to store tobacco, Sherlock Holmes did not keep his tobacco in a pouch. The correct answer is option C.
The correct answer is C) In his slippers. This option is correct because Sherlock Holmes kept his tobacco in his slippers, as mentioned in "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle."
