Read the excerpt from chapter 3 of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

"You know I never approved of it,” pursued Utterson, ruthlessly disregarding the fresh topic.

"My will? Yes, certainly, I know that,” said the doctor, a trifle sharply. "You have told me so.”

"Well, I tell you so again,” continued the lawyer. "I have been learning something of young Hyde.”

The large handsome face of Dr. Jekyll grew pale to the very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes. "I do not care to hear more,” said he. "This is a matter I thought we had agreed to drop.”

"What I heard was abominable,” said Utterson.

"It can make no change. You do not understand my position,” returned the doctor, with a certain incoherency of manner. "I am painfully situated, Utterson; my position is a very strange—a very strange one. It is one of those affairs that cannot be mended by talking.”

The conflict in this passage develops the plot by

forcing Dr. Jekyll to fully explain his complicated business relationship with Mr. Hyde to Mr. Utterson.
convincing Mr. Utterson to try and help Mr. Hyde avoid punishment for the crimes he has committed.
prompting Dr. Jekyll to ask Mr. Utterson to promise that Mr. Hyde will receive what is left to him in the will.
creating an argument between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Utterson that causes Dr. Jekyll to fire his lawyer.

Read the excerpt below from "letter from birmingham jail" and then answer the question below: "my citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. but i must confess that i am not afraid of the word "tension." i have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. just as socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood." how does king's repetition of the term "tension" impact the meaning of the text? question 5 options: dr. king says that he is afraid of the word tension and he doesn't think it is necessary. dr. king repeats the word tension to explain how he sees the word as a negative force that discourages change. dr. king repeats the word tension unintentionally, and it doesn't impact the meaning of the text. dr. king repeats the word tension to support how he views the word tension as positive and growth-producing.
