                   Did Private Quelch's day-to-day practices take him closer towards his goal? How can you make out?      

Answer:

                  No, Private Quelch's day-to-day practices were becoming more of a show off than an honest practice. In the beginning, all his fellow trainees used to respect him, but later on they started avoiding him. Due to his being a show off, he would insult his seniors as well as fellow colleagues unknowingly. No doubt, he had incomparable knowledge of defence forces but his way of achieving his goal was not correct. It did not take him closer to his goal because he was permanently assigned cookhouse duties, which was the lowest level job available.
