Read these excerpts from chapter 8 of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Excerpt 1: "This is a very strange tale, Pool

e; this is rather a wild tale my man,” said Mr. Utterson, biting his finger. "Suppose it were as you suppose, supposing Dr. Jekyll to have been—well, murdered what could induce the murderer to stay? That won’t hold water; it doesn’t commend itself to reason.” Excerpt 2: "No, sir, that thing in the mask was never Dr. Jekyll—God knows what it was, but it was never Dr. Jekyll; and it is the belief of my heart that there was murder done.” "Poole,” replied the lawyer, "if you say that, it will become my duty to make certain. Much as I desire to spare your master’s feelings, much as I am puzzled by this note which seems to prove him to be still alive, I shall consider it my duty to break in that door.” How does Mr. Utterson develop in these excerpts? He begins to consider illogical possibilities. He begins to forgive Hyde for his wrongdoing. He begins to understand the science of transformation. He begins to hope for Dr. Jekyll’s full recovery.

By putting to one side the absurde possibilities like the laws of transformation of live creatures in case of no death or that if the death ( of Dr. Jekyll) occured as a result of a murder and the murderer would be Mr. Hyde, the murderer could be right beside (the body/ the room with no clue), The lawyer would hold his hopes, avoiding to misjudge having so few clues, trusting most his nose, hoping he could still save the victim

Read the following lines from the Odyssey:
goldfiish [28.3K]
<span>By implication, the cultural value in ancient Greece that Odysseus is emphasizing in this passage is C. civilized life in a law-abiding society. He is talking about how all of these creatures lived in areas "without a law to bless them" - he obviously thinks that laws are a good thing that keep people under check, which is something these creatures lack. There is no mention of physical strength, benefits of travel, or mental intelligence here.</span>

Read the sentence. In a fit of rage, Adam tore the letter asunder, throwing the pieces into the fire. Which context clues from t
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The context clues which would be the most helpful in determining the meaning of asunder are: tore and pieces.

Explanation:

Asunder is an archaic adverb, which means we do not use it much nowadays. It means apart, divided, or into pieces. Supposing we did not know that definition, we could easily guess the meaning of asunder by finding context clues in the sentence where it appears. <u>In this case, there are two words that can easily help us understand what asunder means: tore and pieces. Tore, the past form of the verb tear, means to rip something apart. And pieces, of course, mean a portion, chunk, or segment of something. If Adam tore something asunder and then threw the pieces, we can safely guess asunder has something to do with making those pieces, breaking or ripping something.</u>
