"a fire," he cried, "in the name of human charity! a room and a fire! " he stamped and shook the snow from off himself in the bar, and followed mrs. hall into her guest parlour to strike his bargain. and with that much introduction, that and a couple of sovereigns flung upon the table, he took up his quarters in the inn. the author of the passage uses the word flung in these sentences a) to show that the stranger was tired and cold. b) to show that the stranger was exhausted. c) to show the stranger's great enthusiasm. d) to show that the stranger had been in the parlour before.
