Question 10 • (Gosciewski) WCA 0431 English 12 - 1st 9 weeks 26-27

Read the passage from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."I do not blame our old friend,” Jekyll wrote, "but I share his view that we must never meet. I mean from henceforth to lead a life of extreme seclusion; you must not be surprised, nor must you doubt my friendship, if my door is often shut even to you. You must suffer me to go my own dark way. ”Now, read the prediction.I predict that Utterson will refuse to abandon Jekyll completely and will continue to seek him out.

Answer
A
“. . . it may be doubted if, from that day forth, Utterson desired the society of his surviving friend with the same eagerness.”
B
“He thought of him kindly; but his thoughts were disquieted and fearful.”
C
“He went to call indeed; but he was perhaps relieved to be denied admittance . . .”
D
“Utterson became so used to the unvarying character of these reports, that he fell off little by little in the frequency of his visits.”

Explanation

Choice C says Utterson “went to call,” meaning he continued to visit Jekyll despite the request for seclusion. Although he may have felt relieved when he was denied admittance, his visit shows he did not abandon Jekyll completely.
