The correct answer is Option 4.
 
Key Points
  • The passage explicitly states that Alex "was forced to leave school for economic reasons" and later, "In 1901, he received a share in a legacy which made it possible for him to return to school."
  • This sequence shows that the legacy was the event that resolved his financial difficulties, enabling him to resume his education.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.
 
Additional Information
  • Option 1) by working in a shipping company: Alex obtained a job in a shipping company out of necessity due to economic reasons. The passage does not indicate that this job made him rich; rather, the legacy allowed him to leave the job and return to school.
  • Option 2) when his brother became a successful occultist: The passage says his brother *was to become* successful, implying this success was in the future and was not the direct cause of Alex's improved financial situation that allowed him to return to school at that specific time.
  • Option 3) because he studied medicine: Alex decided to study medicine *after* receiving the legacy. The legacy provided the means to study, so studying medicine was a consequence of his improved financial status, not the cause of it.
