Question

My provision of the salt, which had never been renewed

since the date of the first experiment, began to run low. I
sent out for a fresh supply and mixed the draught; the
ebullition followed, and the first change of colour, not the
second; I drank it and it was without efficiency. You will
learn from Poole how I have had London ransacked; it
was in vain; and I am now persuaded that my first supply
was impure, and that it was that unknown impurity
which lent efficacy to the draught.

Answer 1

This part of Dr. Jekyll's confession provide information about his struggle to control his good and evil sides in the sense that:

B. It explains what allowed him to split himself in two and why he can no longer continue to do so.

Step-by-step explanation:

By Robert Louis Stevenson, the Gothic novel "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"is about a doctor who concocts a potion that allows him to split his personality in two. One half of him is still Dr. Jekyll with all his good qualities, while the other half is Mr. Hyde, the manifestation of his dangerous and sensual side. The excerpt we are analyzing here shows what allowed the potion to work and Jekyll to split the personalities. It was a certain impure salt, which he can no longer find anywhere. Without the salt, he will not be able to make more potions and, unfortunately, Mr. Hyde is now the one taking control. Jekyll knows he will no longer be able to control Hyde without the potion.
