B) to assure himself of its truth
The options given have you take a closer look at the words it's and himself. Option C changes "himself" to "hisself". "Hisself" is never correct. This means we have to decide if the correct answer is "its" or "it's". "Its", without an apostrophe, is the possessive form showing ownership. "It's", with an apostrophe, is a contraction meaning "it is". Let's plug them into the sentence "of it is truth" does not make any sense. Can "it" own truth? Yes, so "its" is the correct answer.
Ebenezer Scrooge is the protagonist (main character) of ‘A Christmas Carol’. He is a banker or ‘moneylender’ of sorts who owned his own ‘counting house’ alongside his late business partner Jacob Marley.
In the opening of the novella, Scrooge is presented as a miserly and misanthropic (someone who dislikes other people) businessman with a strong aversion to Christmas and the society around him in general. :)

Answer and Explanation:
Helen's hands shook when she answered the phone. Even though she had been waiting for that call all week, she was not ready. What-if’s filled her mind uselessly. What if they said she had failed? What if they had found a better candidate for the position? What if she had not failed? What if she got the job and had to move away from everything she knew? She answered, trying to somehow disguise her trembling voice. The woman on the other side of the line sounded cheerful. It was good news; Helen got the job. She thanked the woman, once, twice. Yes, she could start in two weeks. Once she hung up, reality came rushing back. Time to tell her friends and family.
