Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Anatole, the French chef employed by Aunt Dahlia at Brinkley Court, is indeed described by Bertie as 'god's gift to the gastric juices'. Anatole's cooking is legendary throughout the stories, and Bertie (like everyone else) is constantly trying to stay in Aunt Dahlia's good books to enjoy Anatole's meals. Jeeves, Aunt Agatha, and Aunt Dahlia herself are not the chefs.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In 'Thank You, Jeeves', Jeeves temporarily leaves Bertie's service because he cannot tolerate Bertie's constant playing of the banjolele (a banjo-ukulele hybrid). This drives Jeeves to give notice, leading to one of the few times they separate. The purple socks and cruise references are from different stories, and while Jeeves does consider Bertie 'mentally negligible', he's too professional to leave over that.
