Question

Read the excerpt from chapter 3 of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Answer 1

Answer: B) The fact that Dr. Jekyll “grew pale to the very lips” and developed “a blackness around the eyes” suggests turmoil within himself.

Explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given excerpt we can see that the fact that Dr. Jekyll grew pale to the lips and show a blackness around the eyes show that he is conflicted about what Utterson is saying, so it shows an internal conflict.

Answer 2

B - The fact that Dr. Jekyll 'grew pale to the very lips' and developed 'a blackness around the eyes' suggests turmoil within himself and there is a conflict of character vs. self.

Dr. Jekyll' physical changes in option b indicate he is feeling uneasiness (or turmoil) within himself and is showing it on his face.
