Which statement best describes the mood as it is portrayed in the image compared to the way it is portrayed in the excerpt

a. the excerpt portrays a serious mood, while the image portrays an intense mood
b. the excerpt portrays an anxious mood, while the image portrays a mournful mood
c. the excerpt portrays a blissful mood, while the image portrays a gloomy mood
d. the excerpt portrays an irritated mood, while the image portrays a serious mood

c) the excerpt portrays a blissful mood, while the image portrays a gloomy mood

Explanation:

I would say that the correct answer is C) since I cannot find the excerpt that is missing in your question.

Why C? It is because ''The Pickwick Papers'' is a humorous novel by Charles Dickens that is following adventures of four men group called ''Pickwickians''. The main theme of the novel is following their journey around the English countryside and they were traveling by bus. Since their journey is humorous I would not tell that we can find a serious, anxious or irritated mood in any excerpt of the novel. The weather on the picture looks cloudy and gloomy and that is the opposite of the mood in the story.
