Question

Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.

Answer 1

Answer:

This passage from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde  by Robert Louis Stevenson implies that they only tolerated each other because of their family connection. The correct answer is the first one.

Explanation:

According to this excerpt Mr. Utterson was used to base his relationships "in a similar catholicity of good-nature" and his friends were those "of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest". That was the reason for him to be friends with his "distant kinsman". They didn't seem to have much in common, but still they spent time together, and shared long walks. Those who used to see them said how dull they seemed together and it was difficult to know how or what they found attractive in each other. The reason is that they were family, they'd known each other for a long time and that was enough reason to be "friends".
