Question 23 • (Gosciewski) WCA 0431 English 12 - 1st 9 weeks 26-27

Which line from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde best characterizes Dr. Jekyll as ill?

Answer
A
He did not rise to meet his visitor, but held out a cold hand and bade him welcome in a changed voice.
B
The doctor shuddered. “They were crying it in the square,” he said. “I heard them in my dining-room.”
C
“Utterson, I swear to God,” cried the doctor, “I swear to God I will never set eyes on him again . . .”
D
He was busy, he was much in the open air, he did good; his face seemed to open and brighten . . .

Explanation

Choice A most clearly suggests that Dr. Jekyll is physically unwell: he cannot rise to greet Utterson, and his hand is cold and his voice has changed. The other lines focus more on fear, a promise, or improved health rather than signs of illness.
