Answer:
D. a message about the topic of the text.
Explanation:
Often times an author does not come right out and deliberately state the theme of a text. Therefore it must be implied or inferred using cues from the text itself.

In this case, the pronoun "himself" is right after the noun, so it is intensive. If the pronoun was after the verb, then it would have been reflexive.
Answer:
The direct characterization of Dr. Jekyll implies that he is upset by Utterson's persistence.
Explanation:
"Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a gothic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. The main character is Dr. Jekyll, a doctor who is able to develop a potion that separates the good aspects of his personality from the bad. Mr. Hyde is the man he transforms into when the bad traits take over.
In this particular excerpt, we have a brief direct characterization that reveals something about the character. Direct characterization takes place when the narrator/author is the one explicitly describing the character. In this case, it is <u>"The large handsome face of Dr. Jekyll grew pale to the very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes." This characterization shows that Jekyll is upset. He is clearly not bored, offended, or resigned. Those adjectives would need a completely different description. The paleness of his face and lips, the shadow over his eyes, all show that Utterson's persistence is disconcerting Jekyll. He does not wish to discuss this any further.</u>
