Part 5: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Summary and Plot Development — Quiz

Question 8 • English IV

What information would be the most important to include in a summary of the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ?

Answer
A
Lanyon thinks that Hyde’s physical appearance is laughable.
B
Lanyon sees a police officer outside when he opens his door.
C
Lanyon receives an urgent letter from his friend Henry Jekyll.
D
Lanyon finds a white-colored salt substance in the drawer.

Explanation

A summary should include the main event that drives the excerpt, not a small detail. Lanyon receives an urgent letter from his friend Henry Jekyll, which sets the events in motion. The observations about Hyde, the police officer, and the salt are details from the scene rather than its central event.
