Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.But time began at last to obliterate the freshness of my alarm; the praises of conscience began to grow into a thing of course; I began to be tortured with throes and longings, as of Hyde struggling after freedom; and at last, in an hour of moral weakness, I once again compounded and swallowed the transforming draught.
Answer
A
Jekyll will become violent without becoming Hyde.
B
Hyde will gain some of Jekyll’s intelligence.
C
Hyde will not be able to overcome Jekyll’s vulnerabilities.
D
Jekyll will not be able to permanently resist becoming Hyde.
Explanation
Jekyll says his alarm gradually faded, and his desire to become Hyde grew stronger until he swallowed the transforming draught again. This shows that he cannot permanently resist becoming Hyde, which matches choice D. The excerpt does not suggest that Hyde gains intelligence or that Jekyll becomes violent without transforming.
