Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Six o'clock struck on the bells of the church that was so conveniently near to Mr. Utterson's dwelling, and still he was digging at the problem. Hitherto it had touched him on the intellectual side alone; but now his imagination also was engaged or rather enslaved; and as he lay and tossed in the gross darkness of the night and the curtained room Mr. Enfield's tale went by before his mind in a scroll of lighted pictures.

Answer 1

The mood of the excerpt is **troubled**.This is evident from the description of Mr. Utterson's restless state, as he is "digging at the problem," his imagination is "enslaved," and he is "tossed in the gross darkness of the night." These phrases convey a sense of unease and mental disturbance, which aligns with a troubled mood.
