c) she will cause Jonathan severe and eternal grief
d) she will make a big mess

Answer 1

In Bram Stoker's 'Dracula,' Van Helsing suggests that self-sacrifice could result in Mina becoming an Undead like the Count, but the exact outcome would depend on the situation presented in the novel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question refers to a scenario presented by Van Helsing in Dracula by Bram Stoker. If the student is asking whether Van Helsing says that if Mina kills herself before the Count is properly killed she will become an Undead just like him, the true answer is False. In the context of Bram Stoker's novel, Van Helsing suggests that by ending her own life, Mina would fall under the vampire's full influence and indeed risk her soul, meaning that she could become Undead. However, without the exact quote, the inference can only be based on Van Helsing's overall understanding of vampire lore as described in the book. Self-sacrifice is generally viewed as a negative action in the moral context of the story, posing a risk to Mina's soul.
