Answer:
Utterson knew the house Mr. Hyde disappeared into belonged to his client Dr. Jekyll.
Explanation:
Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" revolves around the story of how a good doctor was dominated over by his alter-ego. In the end, the more dominant and dangerous personality took over the good doctor which led the latter to commit sui cide while he still has control over his sanity.
In the first chapter of the story, Enfield was telling Mr. Utterson about the horrendous incident he had encountered one late night. And in revealing how the 'monster' had compensated for his act of killing the young girl by giving a cheque, Utterson did not ask for the name on the cheque. This was because he had already known the owner of the house where Mr. Hyde, the child killer, had gone in to get the money and cheque.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
Answer :
The following sentence best summarizes one central idea of the passage from "Mother Tongue" :
A.The expression of experience through language is more powerful when different forms of English are accepted.
Tan has a firm belief that nonstandard forms of English are legitimate languages in their own right.
Excerpts from the text that support this answer are :
1. "But to me, my mother's English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It's my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, full of observation and imagery. That was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed things, made sense of the world."
2. "-I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English I spoke to my mother, which for lack of a better term might be described as "simple"; the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as "broken"; my translation of her Chinese, which could certainly be described as "watered down"; and what I imagined to be her translation of her Chinese if she could speak in perfect English, her internal language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to capture what language ability tests can never reveal: her intent, her passion, her imagery, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts."
The poem by Alexander Pope is a mock-heroic narrative poem, an example of a high Burlesque. The theme of the poem is a small incident that Pope compared to the epic world of the gods, emphasizing the absurdity of all actions that preceded the incident, as well as those that followed. The incident happened in real life, and this fact only intensifies the absurdity and foolishness of society at that time in England. Namely, the incident is inflated to such an extent, only because it is the character that caused the incident, the Catholic, in the otherwise Anglican England. At the time, there were social limitations, very strict for anyone who was Catholic. The poet uses essentially satires, with the help of elements epic narrative, sneering and parody, to emphasize fake heroism with prominent Englishmen.
This poem has contributed to popularity and interest in highlighting fake heroism in Europe.
In a similar tone is the Swift's essay, which in his essay ironically suggests preventing children of the poor Irish Catholics from being born for their parents or state, but for the benefit of the public. this also was in real life. And here he emphasizes the attitude towards the Catholics, especially from Ireland. He ironically suggests, in an essay, that children should be sold to rich people for food, and so mitigate their economic problems. Also ironically, Swift puts rationally above the human.
This essay is considered one of the greatest examples of the use of irony as an element of satire.
