[单项选择]Number 10 is neither a small nor a particularly hospitable dwelling. It is two 17th century houses joined together by a narrow corridor. Once inside, one rapidly realizes the house has three separate functions: the office of the head of the British government; a place to entertain the grandest of guests; and a private home for the Prime Minister and his family.
　　Stanley Baldwin’s experience of sleeping in an airless corridor in the thirties was sufficient to persuade his successor, Neville Chamberlain (1937--1940), that a fiat had to be built at the top of the house for the Prime Minister and his family.

He had a forecasting and went into the kitchen to warn the staff to take shelter. Seconds later a bomb landed on the grass outside, killing others nearby but none in Number 10.
When Churchill returned to power in 1951,
A. A place to entertain the grandest of guests.
B. A private house for the Prime Minister and his family.
C. The office of the head of the British government.
