Hello. You did not ask the question to which this text refers, which makes it impossible for me to give you an answer. However, when searching the internet, I found a question that used that same text and asked what was the verb tense of the text and what was the meaning of the phrase ‘this green flooring’. If that's your case, I hope the answer below can help you.

The verb tense of the text in the first sentence is Simple Past. Since the verbs "had landed" have an action performed in the past and that has been completely completed. However, the second sentence presents the past tense Past Perfect Continuous, as it presents an action that happened in the past before another action happened, since we can see that the characters waved before starting to call out stridently.

The phrase "this green flooring" refers to the characters stepping on a floor with vegetation and therefore stepping on a "green flooring."

Read the passage from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
loris [4]

Answer:

Utterson is conflicted about his attitude toward Jekyll.

Explanation:

Utterson represents the perfect Victorian gentleman. He consistently seeks to preserve order and decorum. Even when he suspects his friend Jekyll of criminal activities such as blackmail or the sheltering of a murderer, he prefers to sweep what he has learned under the rug. When he is summoned to Jekyll’s home Utterson continues to look for an explanation that preserves reason. He desperately searches for excuses not to take any drastic steps to interfere with Jekyll’s life.

Dimas [21]
It could be that he is hurt that a machine beat him at chess. In a way, playing against a machine in a game about strategy feels very patronizing and insulting considering that it has an advantage against you by simple functioning that way. Since he's an older man, he could see it as not a true competition and that computers are replacing humans.
