Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It is useless, and the time awfully fails me, to prolong this description; no one has ever suffered such torments . . . How does this excerpt connect to the theme "Secrets isolate people”?

The phrase “no one has ever suffered such torments” suggests that Dr. Jekyll believes his suffering is uniquely his own. His secret leaves him to face his distress alone, connecting the excerpt to the theme that secrets isolate people. Choice B, “Dr. Jekyll feels alone in his unfortunate situation,” best expresses this connection.
