Answer:
The condition of the room and its contents cause Mr. Utterson and Inspector Newcomen to plan a trip to the bank in hopes of catching Mr. Hyde.
Explanation:
The excerpt in the question came from the fourth chapter titled the Carew Murder Case. We can see in this chapter that inspector Newcomen and Mr. Utterson had been questioning Mr. Hyde's actions since they had seen him behave suspicious lately. The investigators visited Mr. Hyde's room during the investigation and pointed out that his house was in a mess. The inspectors then decided that Mr. Hyde may not know what happened in his house so they went straight to the bank to investigate further. They learned on their arrival at the bank that his account was loaded with millions of pounds. The scene strengthens the story because it finally shows enough evidence for the prosecutor and the officer to continue investigating Hyde and trying to prove his guilt.
Konichiwa~! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this marvelous day. The answer to your question is C; Normalcy. It wouldn't be communism because that would be the hatred or murderous intent for the foreigners. It isn't Liberalism because that would be the curiosity of the foreigners. And it isn't democracy because then the foreigners would be political.
I hope that this helps! :3

This is an example of a simile, a comparison between two things using the words "like" or "as." "Gloomy as the night" is the simile here, since his sadness is being compared to nighttime.
