Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Two doors from one corner, on the left hand going east the line was broken by the entry of a court; and just at that point a certain sinister block of building thrust forward its gable on the street. It was two storeys high; showed no window, nothing but a door on the lower storey . . .
Which detail from the excerpt best establishes the gothic setting?
“one corner”
“entry of a court”
“sinister block”
“lower storey”

“sinister block”
The word "sinister" directly supplies an ominous, threatening mood characteristic of the gothic, signaling danger and unease more than the neutral architectural details do.
