Answer 1

B. "One word," said the lawyer. "Carew was my client, but so are you; and I want to know what I am doing. You have not been mad enough to hide this fellow?"

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the statement that best shows that Utterson believes that Dr. Jekyll is hiding information. In this statement, we learn that the lawyer asks Dr. Jekyll what he is doing. He says that because he is his client, he wants to be informed. This implies that Utterson believes Dr. Jekyll to be doing something, perhaps something inappropriate, and he wants to get to the bottom of it.

Answer 2

B. "One word," said the lawyer. "Carew was my client, but so are you; and I want to know what I am doing. You have not been mad enough to hide this fellow?"
