The detail about the setting that best helps convey the mood of the excerpt is:
"he could have strolled into the thoroughfares of light and noise"
This detail contrasts the idea of light and noise, which usually implies liveliness and happiness, with the character’s current state, contributing to a mood of disillusionment and heartache.
