Answer:

B). An expression of disapproval or condemnation.

Explanation:

As per the question, option B best displays the definition of the underlined word 'censure' as it best fits the context of the statement. The word 'censure' denotes 'the actions of displaying acute criticism, reprehension or condemnation' which in the given context is complementing the meaning of the sentence and conveys the author's intended purpose. Therefore, the idea is to convey that 'the toiling laborers are destined to work at lower employments as they are more operated by the fear of evil instead of being disclosed to 'reflect or express their extreme disapproval or objection' or possess a hope of being admired. Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

How did Jekyll react to Utterson’s and Enfield’s invitation to go for a walk?
iren [92.7K]

In "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", by Robert Louis Stevenson, Utterson and Enfield are taking their usual walk. It is a Sunday. They come to the front of the door in which they have seen Hyde enter and is also the back way to Dr. Jekyll's place. They think of inviting Dr. Jekyll to join them for a walk. They reach the middle window that is half-open and Utterson sees Dr. Jekyll sitting beside the window. When he is addressed Dr. Jekyll answers he is very low, and that this state won't last very long. He says that he is very glad for the invitation but that he dares not to go. He cannot let them in either, because the place is not fit. They plan to talk from where they are. The smile on Dr. Jekyll's face gives place to an expression of terror and despair, as he shuts the window hastily.
