Read the following short story excerpt, then answer the question that follows. When we rescued Tex, we thought he would be the perfect family dog. And he was … half of the time, anyway. His Jekyll and Hyde personality made our lives completely unpredictable. One second he was sweet as can be, and the next he was zooming around the house causing chaos. This paragraph alludes to the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Based on this literary allusion, which choice best describes Tex's personality?

Tex changes from good to evil unexpectedly.
Tex constantly begs the family for more food.
Tex sleeps all day and stays awake all night.
Tex tries to run away whenever he gets the chance.

I believe the answer is A, Tex changes from good to evil unexpectedly.

Explanation: If you look at the text, it shows Tex to be quite unpredictable. He can be the perfect family dog (being the good side of him) however he can also cause lots of chaos (the evil side of him). Unexpectedly and unpredictable are synonyms and those are both words used in the answer/text. I think A would be your best option.
