Answer:
a. They only tolerated each other because of their family connection.
Explanation:
Robert Louise Stevenson's gothic novel "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" tells the story of the tragedy of a good doctor Jekyll overpowered by his alter ego Mr. Hyde. This novel also deals with the themes of good and evil.
The supposed passage is from the first chapter of the text where the narrator is giving an introduction about Mr. Utterson and his relationship with Mr. Enfield. The men were friends just because they were related, and also as they had known each other for a really long time.
The passage states that Mr. Utterson made friends with "<em>those of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest"</em>. Mr. Richard Enfield, being a distant kinsman of his, also was one of his closest friend but which at times puzzled people to see them being friends. For, the two were hardly similar and would not even seem capable of finding anything common to talk about between themselves.
I think that the answer is:
C. Yes, because she presents multiple statistics that indicate a clear distinction between men's and women's earnings.
