Answer: Based on the context of this excerpt from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, the meaning of the word "jocund" is b) lighthearted.

Explanation: The word "jocund" is an adjective and it is used to refer to <u>someone who is lighthearted, that is to say someone who is cheerful and happy</u>. Moreover, in this excerpt, "jocund" is premodifying "travellers"; therefore, it has been used to ascribe a quality/attribute to this noun. <u>The phrase that is part of the context and that most contributes to infer the meaning of "jocund" is "in great spirit". </u>
