Choice B is the best answer. Lines 73-74("window...gleam")state that the narrator noticed there was no "cheering red gleam"of fire in his sitting-room fireplace. The lack of a "cheering,"or comforting, fire suggests that the narrator sometimes found his lodgings to be dreary or bleak.
Choices A and D are incorrect because the narrator does not find his living quarters to be treacherous or intolerable. Choice C is incorrect because while the narrator is walking home he speculates about the presence of a fire in his sitting-room's fireplace (lines 69-74，" for...gleam"), which suggests that he could not predict the state of his living quarters.
