Read the excerpt from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."

The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,

The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes

Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,

Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,

Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,

Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,

And seeing that it was a soft October night,

Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.

Based on the excerpt, how does the narrator feel about the evening fog?

Answer:

Based on this excerpt from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (and with no options from where to choose), I can say that the narrator feels peaceful with the evening fog.

Step-by-step explanation:

By reading these lines, we can see how the narrator feels comfortable with the evening fog. He/she is contemplating all its path, and seems to like it, he/she seems to enjoy the view with the fog, its presence gives him/her a feeling of peace, quietness, we can see this when the narrator says: "And seeing that it was a soft October night, / Curled once about the house, and fell asleep." The narrator feels peaceful with the scene the fog creates.
