Read these sentences from the text.
Scrooge had a very small fire, but the clerk's fire was so very much smaller that it looked like one coal. But he couldn't replenish it, for Scrooge kept the coal-box in his own room; and so surely as the clerk came in with the shovel, the master predicted that it would be necessary for them to part.

What conclusion can you draw based on this information?
The reason that the clerk’s fire and Scrooge’s fire were both so small is that there was no coal.
Scrooge did not allow his clerk to have enough coal in his fire to keep warm.
The only reason the clerk did not have enough coal is because he didn’t want to go get it.
Scrooge offered the clerk more coal but the clerk did not take it because he was scared.

From the story  - A Christmas carol - we understand that Ebenezer Scrooge was a very miserly man.

  • He was so frugal and miserly that the ghost of his late partner came to warn him of an impending visitation by ghosts from the land of the dead.

  • As the Ghost of Christmas past shows him his past, only then does Scrooge realize that he has been mean and miserly.

  • It is because of this attitude that he refused to give the clerk enough coal for him to keep warm.

Hence, the correct answer is B.
