One theme in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the message "It is important to trust one’s instincts.”

The theme says people should trust their instincts, so the best example is when characters sense that something is wrong and take that feeling seriously. Both Mr. Poole and Mr. Utterson have a bad feeling about Mr. Hyde, making choice B the clearest match. The other choices describe events but do not directly show characters trusting their instincts.
