答案：BABCA

解析：

1. 题目问“查尔斯爵士去世前有多少人在沼地上见过猎犬”，根据摩梯末的回答，曾有三个人见过这个猎犬（对应原文：'Three people did,' said Mortimer.），所以选B。

2. 题目问的是“福尔摩斯对巴斯克维尔的案子有什么感受”，根据文中的描写，每当有案件让福尔摩斯感兴趣时，他就会露出高兴的样子（对应原文：He always looked pleased when a case interested him.）。选项A表示“有趣的”，B“无聊的”，C“令人吃惊的”，所以选A。

3. 题目问的是“据福尔摩斯所说，该怎么解释脚印的变化”，福尔摩斯告诉华生，查尔斯爵士并非垫着脚走路，而是在奔跑（对应原文：The truth is he was running--running for his life.），所以导致了脚印的变化。

4. 题目问的是“为什么查尔斯爵士不朝房子而朝相反的方向跑”，福尔摩斯的推测是，查尔斯爵士当时吓丢了魂，并不知道当时在自己在干什么（对应原文：I think he was mad with fear before he began to run. He didn't know what he was doing.）。

5. 题目问的是“查尔斯爵士当晚做了什么”，福尔摩斯认为，查尔斯爵士当晚在等人，否则一向抗拒沼泽的他也不会在湿地上站立那么长时间（对应原文：We know that he kept away from the moor, so it's unlikely that he waited at the moor gate every evening.）。A选项表示“他在寒冷中等人”，B“他在湿地上站立了一小会儿”，C“他在沼泽地散步”，所以A是正确选项。
