Question

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

It was late in the afternoon, when Mr. Utterson found his way to Dr. Jekyll’s door, where he was at once admitted by Poole, and carried down by the kitchen offices and across a yard which had once been a garden, to the building which was indifferently known as the laboratory or dissecting rooms.

This description uses language that mostly relates to

climax.
exposition.
falling action.

Answer 1

exposition.

This passage sets scene and background—introducing setting and characters (Utterson, Poole, Jekyll's laboratory)—which is characteristic of exposition.
