Part 3: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Making Inferences and Predictions

Question 7 • (Gosciewski) WCA 0431 English 12 - 1st 9 weeks 26-27

Read the passage from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."Special edition. Shocking murder of an M.P.” That was the funeral oration of one friend and client; and he could not help a certain apprehension lest the good name of another should be sucked down in the eddy of the scandal. It was, at least, a ticklish decision that he had to make; and self-reliant as he was by habit, he began to cherish a longing for advice. It was not to be had directly; but perhaps, he thought, it might be fished for.

Answer
A
is afraid of Mr. Jekyll.
B
distrusts his own judgment.
C
misses Sir Danvers.
D
is upset he will be in the news.

Explanation

The narrator says Utterson feels apprehension that another friend’s good name could be pulled into the scandal, and calls the decision “ticklish.” Although he is usually self-reliant, he begins longing for advice, showing that he distrusts his own judgment about what to do. He is not described as afraid of Jekyll or worried about being in the news.
