Question 18 • 26-27 Ignite English 12 NG KY-English Language Arts 12

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.Between these two, I now felt I had to choose.Now read the excerpt from Darcy’s essay on Dr. Jekyll.In the story, Dr. Jekyll repeatedly talks about having only two choices. Yet I know from my own experience that there are usually many options to choose from when dealing with human behavior—not just good or evil. This leads me to conclude that Dr. Jekyll had a strict, uncompromising, black-and-white view of the world that didn’t leave room for half measures and shades of gray.

Answer
A
writing a summary.
B
making a prediction.
C
making an inference.
D
describing a strategy.

Explanation

Darcy uses details from the story—Jekyll’s repeated belief that he has only two choices—and combines them with her own understanding of human behavior. From that evidence, she draws a conclusion about Jekyll’s way of thinking: that he sees the world in strict black-and-white terms. Drawing a conclusion from evidence is making an inference, not summarizing, predicting, or describing a strategy.
