Explanation

These choices cover major events in chapters 1–8: Utterson hears that Hyde trampled a girl, Hyde is linked to the murder of Sir Danvers Carew, and Lanyon becomes ill and rejects Jekyll. Lanyon later dies after leaving Utterson documents, and Hyde is found dead in Jekyll’s laboratory. Poole’s appearance is a minor detail, and the dinner party is not a key event to include in a summary.
