Final answer:
Poole does not claim that "the man in the room has rapidly increased his orders for chemicals from all over town." This is not one of the pieces of evidence he provides in 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.'
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking which piece of evidence Poole does not provide to support his theory in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Poole is Dr. Jekyll's butler and experiences various unusual events related to his master's behavior. Among the options provided:
- Dr. Jekyll has stopped seeing friends.
- The voice coming from the room is not Dr. Jekyll's.
- All of the servants are afraid.
- The man in the room has rapidly increased his orders for chemicals from all over town.
- When Poole saw the inhabitant of the room, the man seemed to be wearing a mask.
From the evidence provided in the text of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the correct answer would be that Poole does not claim that “the man in the room has rapidly increased his orders for chemicals from all over town.”
