Answer 1

The detail that reveals Watson’s role as the everyman character archetype in the story is: “I trust that there is nothing of consequence which I have overlooked?” This statement reflects Watson’s humility and self-doubt, which are characteristic of the everyman archetype, as he often represents the average person trying to keep up with the more exceptional talents and abilities of Sherlock Holmes.
