Correct Answer:
D. Librarian
Explanation:
The correct answer is Librarian. Before dedicating himself to writing, Philip Larkin had a long and distinguished career in librarianship. After graduating from Oxford in 1943, his first professional post was at a public library in Wellington, Shropshire. He subsequently held positions at university libraries in Leicester and Belfast before becoming the university librarian at the University of Hull in 1955, a role he maintained for thirty years until his death. While he was a celebrated poet and novelist, he famously balanced his literary work with his full-time professional duties as a library director.
