Read the excerpts from chapter one of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Excerpt 1:

That evening Mr. Utterson came home to his bachelor house in sombre spirits and sat down to dinner without relish. It was his custom of a Sunday, when this meal was over, to sit close by the fire, a volume of some dry divinity on his reading desk, until the clock of the neighbouring church rang out the hour of twelve, when he would go soberly and gratefully to bed.

Excerpt 2:

[Dr. Lanyon] was a hearty, healthy, dapper, red-faced gentleman, with a shock of hair prematurely white, and a boisterous and decided manner. At sight of Mr. Utterson, he sprang up from his chair and welcomed him with both hands.

Which statement best describes how Mr. Utterson and Dr. Lanyon differ?

Dr. Lanyon is more studious than Mr. Utterson.
Dr. Lanyon is more famous than Mr. Utterson.
Dr. Lanyon is more generous than Mr. Utterson.
