d) Nostalgic

Answer 1

The language Pip uses in this description produces a melancholic mood.

Step-by-step explanation:

The language Pip uses in this description produces a melancholic mood. In the passage, Pip describes feeling overpowering melancholy and a not-unpleasing sadness. He contrasts his own melancholic state with the bright and celebratory world around him, creating a sense of gloom and sadness. The description of Bartleby, the copyist, as pale and shivering in a winding sheet adds to the overall melancholic atmosphere.
