In this question, it appears that you want to gain a deeper understanding of the character being described in the passage. This character is Ebenezer Scrooge from<em> A Christmas Carol</em>.
A-
Scrooge is a cold-hearted, selfish person. He cares about himself more than he cares about others. He is also cheap and hates to spend money. He was solitary. All of these characteristics were obvious in his looks and his behaviour.
C- and E-
We learn that Scrooge was cheap because he is described as "tight-fisted" and "covetous." We also learn that he was lonely because he is described as "secret," "self-contained" and "solitary as an oyster." We also learn that he displayed these characteristics obviously based on his "stiff gait," his "red eyes," his "thin lips" and the fact that he carried a cold feeling everywhere he went.
