Read these lines from great expectations by charles dickens:
all this time, i was getting on towards the river; but however fast i went, i couldn't warm my feet, to which the damp cold seemed riveted, as the iron was riveted to the leg of the man i was running to meet.

what does the phrase "damp cold seemed riveted" suggest about how the narrator feels?

select one:
a. he cannot escape the feeling of icy dread.
b. he considers his responsibility with a cold seriousness.
c. he feels a cold prisoner in his current life.
d. he sees his tasks as if it were his chilling doom.
