Scenario/Extract:
Although the fire was burning up briskly, she was surprised to see that her visitor still wore his hat and coat, standing with his back to her and staring out of the window at the falling snow in the yard. His gloved hands were clasped behind him, and he seemed to be lost in thought. She noticed that the melting snow that still sprinkled his shoulders dripped upon her carpet.

-H. G. Wells, from The Invisible Man

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The setting suggests that the visitor is preparing to leave, indicated by references to the environment and activities that hint at an impending departure.

Option D implies a prolonged stay, but the context indicates a transition rather than comfort. Therefore, the details strongly indicate that the visitor will soon be going outside again, reflecting a sense of readiness for departure.
