Read the passage from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It is one thing to mortify curiosity, another to conquer it; and it may be doubted if, from that day forth, Utterson desired the society of his surviving friend with the same eagerness. He thought of him kindly; but his thoughts were disquieted and fearful. He went to call indeed; but he was perhaps relieved to be denied admittance; perhaps, in his heart, he preferred to speak with Poole upon the doorstep and surrounded by the air and sounds of the open city, rather than to be admitted into that house of voluntary bondage, and to sit and speak with its inscrutable recluse. What internal conflict does the passage describe?

Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the answer options, which are:

Poole is conflicted about barring Utterson from the house.

Explanation:

In Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," Utterson has ambiguous feelings regarding his friend Jekyll. On the one hand, he thinks sympathetically and thoughfully of Jekyll. On the other hand, after seeing the harmful change Jekyll has caused in his friend Lanyon, Utterson cannot help but feel uneasy and hesistant about him. In fact, deep in his heart he prefers not to be allowed to see Jekyll at his house.

The answer is B) Utterson is conflicted about his attitude toward Jekyll

explanation:

communication is extremely important in any relationship. importance of communication has been stressed upon time and again. lack of communication creates a number of problems that only increase with time.

it is often seen that the families where people talk to each other frequently are happier. they share their joys, sorrows and other emotions with each other. there is a lively atmosphere in such families. they laugh it out together and celebrate every moment whole-hearted. they never feel lonely or bored. they know whenever they want to talk about something or share an emotion they always have an ear to listen to. such is the importance of communication.

compared to this, the families where all the members are engrossed in their own tasks and do not bother to care about or talk to people around them are usually not as happy. the atmosphere in such families is quite dull and gloomy. people are busy with their own tasks. they have friends outside and are not as close with their family members.

they plan outings with their friends and colleagues rather than their family members. this is because they have neglected the importance of communication all along and are thus not comfortable communicating with each other. and without good communication there is no way one can enjoy.
