What is the mood in the following paragraph from “Creative Cuisine”?



His sister drove him to the audition—an obstacle course of cooking tests to help the owners of the restaurant select an assistant. At the audition, the head chef explained that an intern's job was to mimic the head chef's menu—not to create a new one; therefore, the students must recreate the restaurant's dishes to earn the job. Levi looked around at the other candidates. He didn't know about them, but trying not to be creative would be difficult for him.
