Read the excerpts from chapter eight of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Excerpt 1:

Poole, who had kept all the way a pace or two ahead, now pulled up in the middle of the pavement, and in spite of the biting weather, took off his hat and mopped his brow with a red pocket-handkerchief. But for all the hurry of his coming, these were not the dews of exertion that he wiped away, but the moisture of some strangling anguish; for his face was white and his voice, when he spoke, harsh and broken.

Excerpt 2:

Mr. Utterson’s nerves, at this unlooked-for termination, gave a j3rk that nearly threw him from his balance; but he recollected his courage and followed the butler into the laboratory building through the surgical theatre, with its lumber of crates and bottles, to the foot of the stair. Here Poole motioned him to stand on one side and listen; while he himself, setting down the candle and making a great and obvious call on his resolution, mounted the steps and knocked with a somewhat uncertain hand on the red baize of the cabinet door.

How are Poole and Mr. Utterson similar?

a: Both struggle with fear and discomfort.
b: Both voice disappointment in their friend Dr. Jekyll.
c: Both are admired by the community for their brave acts.
d: Both are quick to alert the authorities when they sense trouble.
