1) The correct answer is B. “Hence it came about that I concealed my pleasures; and that when I reached years of reflection, and began to look round me and take stock of my progress and position in the world, I stood already committed to a profound duplicity of life."
The main character, Doc. Henry Jekyll had created a potion which could make a person’s alter ego emerged. In his psychology studies he established that we all have a part of our character within us that has been kept hidden and thus it has never had the chance to grow and develop.

2) The correct answer is D. Metaphor.

The speaker is saying the he has been “doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck”, implying that his feeling resemble the dreadful shipwreck. A metaphor is the figurative language which is used to describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison. It differs from a simile only by its structure: in a simile the words “such as”, “like”, “as this… as that”, etc. are used to present the comparison, whereas in a metaphor those elements are not included.

3) The correct answer is A. “… so that the shop fronts stood along that thoroughfare with an air of invitation, like rows of smiling saleswomen."

A simile is a figure of speech in which two unlike things are compared, using word-elements such as: “like”, “as… , as…”, etc. Unlike a metaphor (which is very similar), a simile is very easy to detect, thanks to the characterizing elements present in the sentence.

4) The correct answer is C. Personification.

The author is presenting and thing (the fog) with a humanly behavior/action (sleeping), and other thing (the city) with another humanly behavior/action (drowning). So there are actually two personifications in this sentence. In fact, Personification is the figurative language used to attribute human nature or character to animals, inanimate objects, or abstract notions.

5) The theme presented in this quote is C. Emotional Distress.

In his confession letter, Jekyll admits several times that he is at fault for choosing to drink the potion that he has created and transform into his evil alter ego, Hyde, and he also admits his feelings of pleasure and freedom during his time as Hyde.

6) I believe the correct answer is A. "I shall remain in Borges, not in myself (if it is true that I am someone), but I recognize myself less in his books than in many others or in the laborious strumming of a guitar."

The speaker is clearly talking about two different types of personalities and the part where he says “if it is true that I am someone” might be referring to the fact that he isn’t one person but two different ones.

7) The correct answer is D. There’s nothing particular about the relationship between Mr. Enfield an Mr. Utterson.

The two men are cousins. Utterson is a very serious man with high morals. He works as a lawyer, has a number of close and trusted friends, and is loyal above all else. Enfield, like Utterson, is a gentleman, who places tremendous importance on morality. Unlike Utterson, he fails to have any curiosity in regard to actions of Mr. Hyde.

8) I believe the correct answer is D. Hyperbole.

A hyperbole is a figurative language which is an obvious and intentional exaggeration. It is used to create emphasis and effect. In this quote, the author is intensively describing something as simple as how the night is turning into day, adding a more intense feeling to it.

9) The definition of Conflagration is “an extensive fire which destroys a great deal of land or property”.

So correct answer would be B. A very destructive fire.
The author is describing how the sun that is rising will pierce its rays through the gloomy fog covering the city (in particular he mentions the quarter of Soho).

10) The correct answer is D. Alliteration.

An alliteration is a figurative language that consists of the repetition of a consonant sound, or the first one or two letters of a words following each other in the same sentence. Typically, to create a metaphor, at least three words are needed, for example: She sells sea shells, on the sea shore. (This repetition is also the reason why alliterations are commonly used as tongue twisters).
