Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” — Unit test

Question 29 • NY-Common Core ELA 12

Which statement about The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is correct?

Answer
A
Dr. Jekyll’s struggle between good and evil is resolved with the death of Carew.
B
Dr. Jekyll’s struggle between good and evil is resolved only by his death.
C
Mr. Utterson’s struggle for truth is resolved when he sees Jekyll transformed.
D
Mr. Utterson’s struggle for truth is resolved when Poole comes to him for help.

Explanation

Jekyll’s conflict between his respectable identity and his darker impulses is never truly resolved while he is alive. His experiments only intensify the struggle, and Hyde eventually takes over; the conflict ends with Jekyll’s death. Carew’s death does not settle the conflict, and Utterson does not witness Jekyll transform. The correct statement is that Jekyll’s struggle is resolved only by his death.
