The paragraph revealed something about the narrator point of view of scrooge. The first-person narrator views Scrooge critically. The Option B is correct.

The narrator in paragraph 6 describes Scrooge in a highly critical and negative manner, using a series of negative adjectives and phrases such as "tight-fisted," "squeezing, wrenching, grasping," "covetous old sinner," and "cold within him." These descriptions reveal a strong disapproval and judgment of Scrooge's character and behavior.

The narrator's portrayal of Scrooge as someone who is cold-hearted, selfish and miserly reflects a negative perspective on his personality and actions.

So, this critical tone is reinforced by the use of words like "froze," "shriveled," "red eyes," and "thin lips blue" which create a vivid and unflattering image of Scrooge's physical and emotional state.

The full question is:

Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck

out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait;5 made his eyes red, his

thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime6 was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his

office in the dog-days; and didn’t thaw it one degree at Christmas.

What does paragraph 6 reveal about the narrator's point of view of Scrooge? A. The first-person narrator views Scrooge sympathetically. B. The first-person narrator views Scrooge critically. C. The third-person narrator views Scrooge sympathetically. D. The third-person narrator views Scrooge critically.
