Question 28 • TX-English IV B

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.What he told me in the next hour, I cannot bring my mind to set on paper. I saw what I saw, I heard what I heard, and my soul sickened at it; and yet now when that sight has faded from my eyes, I ask myself if I believe it, and I cannot answer. My life is shaken to its roots; sleep has left me; the deadliest terror sits by me at all hours of the day and night; and I feel that my days are numbered, and that I must die; and yet I shall die incredulous. As for the moral turpitude that man unveiled to me, even with tears of penitence, I can not, even in memory, dwell on it without a start of horror.

Answer
A
The narration directly reveals Lanyon’s feelings.
B
The readers learn something that Lanyon does not know.
C
Lanyon’s thoughts are revealed through his actions.
D
Hyde’s thoughts are revealed through his actions.

Explanation

The excerpt directly tells readers what Lanyon feels: he is horrified, unable to sleep, and convinced that he will die. Because the narration gives his feelings and thoughts explicitly, it directly reveals Lanyon’s feelings. It does not reveal something unknown to Lanyon or show his thoughts only through actions.
