Answer:
The inference about Dr. Jekyll is best supported by evidence from the passage which is that he has lost confidence in his own judgement because of his involvement with Mr. Hyde. So, the right answer to this question is Option A.
Explanation:
This is in reference to a research named “What makes good people do bad things?” by Melissa Dittmann. This matter talks about how even good people in certain social situations can do what a bad person would do. So the article starts with Dr. Jekyll using a chemical to transform his evil and egoistic Dr. Hyde.
There is no actual chemical but what is meant by chemical is here is that a considerable amount of social pressure that can force a good person to become evil where there is loss of confidence in one’s own judgement and thought.
After reading the passage from "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," we can say the inference supported by the evidence is:
A. He has lost confidence in his own judgment because of his involvement with Mr. Hyde.
What happens in the passage?
In the passage from the novel, Dr. Jekyll shows lack of confidence in his own judgement. After receiving a letter, he is unsure as to what to do. He is asking Mr. Utterson for advice.
The reason for Jekyll's uncertainty is his involvement with Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde is another side of Jekyll's personality, the evil one. Because of his existence, Jekyll does not trust himself.
With the information above in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option.
The missing passage is the following:
“I am quite sure of him,” replied Jekyll; “I have grounds for certainty that I cannot share with any one. But there is one thing on which you may advise me. I have—I have received a letter; and I am at a loss whether I should show it to the police. I should like to leave it in your hands, Utterson; you would judge wisely, I am sure; I have so great a trust in you.”
