Question

Read the excerpt from chapter 4 of The Strange Case of Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Presently her eye wandered to the other, and she was
surprised to recognise in him a certain Mr. Hyde, who had
once visited her master and for whom she had conceived a
dislike. He had in his hand a heavy cane, with which he was
trifling; but he answered never a word, and seemed to listen
with an ill-contained impatience. And then all of a sudden he
broke out in a great flame of anger, stamping with his foot,
brandishing the cane, and carrying on (as the maid
described it) like a madman. The old gentleman took a step
back, with the air of one very much surprised and a trifle
hurt; and at that Mr. Hyde broke out of all bounds and
clubbed him to the earth. And next moment, with ape-like
fury, he was trampling his victim under foot and hailing down
a storm of blows, under which the bones were audibly
shattered and the body jumped upon the roadway.

Answer 2

• Carew's murder provides Mr. Utterson with a reason to search Mr. Hyde's house and learn more about him.
• Mr. Utterson finds evidence on the victim that further ties Mr. Hyde to Dr. Jekyll.
• Inspector Newcomen and Mr. Utterson find items that suggest Mr. Hyde has committed other crimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

These sentences all describe how the murder of Carew advances the plot. The murder provides Mr. Utterson with a reason to search Mr. Hyde's house and learn more about him. After the murder occurs, he visits the house, which is located in a very ugly part of town. In the house, Mr. Utterson finds half of a checkbook, along with half a walking stick, the murder weapon. This ties Mr. Hyde to Dr. Jekyll. It also suggests that Hyde has committed other crimes before.
