The correct answer is B) Aunt Martha has both a kind and cruel personality.

What is the allusion to Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde mean in this passage? "Aunt Martha has both a kind and cruel personality."

This can be read in the excerpt when the author writes: "Aunt Martha firmly held his shoulders. She looked very frightening as she growled, “Good boys don’t run down the hall.” Then she straightened his collar and ruffled his hair and, smiling sweetly, said, “Let’s eat pancakes for breakfast.” It was as if nothing had happened."

This means that Aunt Martha had a double personality. One minute she was nice and tender, and instantly she could be cruel with you. That made the other characters to be aware of aunt Martha's moods.

The allusion that is made was to the strange chances of personality in the novel "The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde." The allusion means a type of comparison.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
