Which phrase best describes Dr. Pascal's attitude in the scene described by this passage? a. Peaceful b. Frustrated c. Self-conscious d. absent-minded

At the beginning of the passage he's frustrated or absent-minded, but then closes off on a peaceful note. The wording of the passage overall wants me to think that A) would be the right choice ... not 100% though.

Thats what google gave me, however, if you posted the passage I could probably give you an answer myself.
