Part 3: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Making Inferences and Predictions — Quiz
Question 9 • English IV
Read the passage from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde . "Utterson, I swear to God,” cried the doctor, "I swear to God I will never set eyes on him again. I bind my honour to you that I am done with him in this world. It is all at an end. And indeed he does not want my help; you do not know him as I do; he is safe, he is quite safe; mark my words, he will never more be heard of.” Read the prediction. I predict that Dr. Jekyll will continue to associate with Mr. Hyde despite what he says to Mr. Utterson. Which lines describing Dr. Jekyll confirm the prediction? Choose three correct answers.
Answer
A
“. . . he was out of spirits, he had grown very silent, he did not read . . .”
B
“He was busy, he was much in the open air, he did good . . .”
C
“. . . for more than two months, the doctor was at peace.”
D
“On the 12th, and again on the 14th, the door was shut against the lawyer.”
E
“The doctor, it appeared, now more than ever confined himself to the cabinet . . .”
Explanation
The details that Jekyll becomes silent and stops reading, shuts his door to Utterson, and confines himself to his cabinet suggest he is becoming secretive and withdrawn again. Those changes support the prediction that he has not truly ended his connection with Hyde. By contrast, the lines about being busy outdoors and being at peace describe a period when he seems to have stopped associating with Hyde.
