Part 1: Gothic Fiction: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Quiz

Question 5 • English Language Arts 12

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It chanced on one of these rambles that their way led them down a by-street in a busy quarter of London. The street was small and what is called quiet, but it drove a thriving trade on the weekdays. The inhabitants were all doing well, it seemed, and all emulously hoping to do better still, and laying out the surplus of their grains in coquetry; so that the shop fronts stood along that thoroughfare with an air of invitation, like rows of smiling saleswomen. Even on Sunday, when it veiled its more florid charms and lay comparatively empty of passage, the street shone out in contrast to its dingy neighbourhood, like a fire in a forest; and with its freshly painted shutters, well-polished brasses, and general cleanliness and gaiety of note, instantly caught and pleased the eye of the passenger. Which phrases from the passage establish a cheerful mood? Choose three correct answers.
