Question

Read the excerpt from chapter 4 of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

This last, however, was not so easy of accomplishment; for Mr. Hyde had numbered few familiars—even the master of the servant maid had only seen him twice; his family could nowhere be traced; he had never been photographed; and the few who could describe him differed widely, as common observers will. Only on one point were they agreed; and that was the haunting sense of unexpressed deformity with which the fugitive impressed his beholders.

This excerpt creates suspense by making the reader wonder

how Mr. Hyde had managed to be seen by so few people.
why people who had seen Mr. Hyde could only agree on one point.
when Mr. Hyde would see any of his family members again.
what people would do if they actually got a long look at Mr. Hyde.

Answer 1

what people would do if they actually got a long look at Mr. Hyde.

Explanation: the passage emphasizes that few saw him clearly and all agreed only on a vague, haunting deformity, leaving the reader to wonder what his appearance really was and how people would react to seeing it.
