"I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, it was only because I was radically both; and from an early date, even before the course of my scientific discoveries had begun to suggest the most naked possibility of such a miracle, I had learned to dwell with pleasure, as a beloved daydream, on the thought of the separation of those elements."

"Next, in the course of their review of the chamber, the searchers came to the cheval glass, into whose depths they looked with an involuntary horror.

"'This is a very strange tale, Poole; this is rather a wild tale, my man,' said Mr Utterson, biting his finger. 'Suppose it were as you suppose, supposing Dr Jekyll to have been — well, murdered, what could induce the murderer to stay? That won't hold water; it doesn't commend itself to reason.'" Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

The reference to "reason" hints that Mr Utterson is clinging to his usual way of understanding the world, even as he begins to doubt that he is dealing with the explicable

Which of the following descriptions applies to Dr Jekyll's perception of his own appearance?

"It bore a livelier image of the spirit"

"It seemed more express and single"
