Question

But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove.
–The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,
Robert Louis Stevenson

How is Mr. Utterson characterized in this passage?

as cheerful and optimistic
as supportive and nonjudgmental
as bitter and unforgiving
as independent and adventurous

Answer 1

Answer:

as supportive and nonjudgmenta

Explanation:

The hints we get form the text are " approved tolerance for others", and "inclined to help rather than to reprove". From this, we can assume he's not bitter and unforgiving. We don't have any textual evidence for cheerful, independent, or adventurous. So we can assume that he's as supportive and nonjudgmental.
