Answer 1

The correct answer is option:

B) He thinks they are a burden and a trap.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author expresses this choice when he says:

I think the man is at a dead end that has gone through a knot-hole or portal where he can't follow his sledge load of furniture. When I hear some trigger, compact-looking, relatively free, all girded and ready, I can't help feel sympathy when I think of his "furniture," as if it's insured or not.
