Which line from The Importance of Being Earnest best makes this point? “Where did the charitable gentleman who had a first-class

ticket for this seaside resort find you?” “Yes, Lady Bracknell. I was in a hand-bag—a somewhat large, black leather hand-bag, with handles to it—an ordinary hand-bag in fact.” “To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . .” “May I ask you then what you would advise me to do? I need hardly say I would do anything in the world to ensure Gwendolen’s happiness.”

If you are referring to this point: Oscar Wilde uses humor to critique society and show that there is too much concern about coming from a proper family.

I believe the correct answer is: “To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . .”

 

     In his dramatic work “The Importance of Being Earnest”, Oscar Wild often uses irony and humor to critique the norms and “moral” of the society in Victorian era. One of the examples for that is this line:

“To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . .”

     As it shows the needless concern of the type of the bag Ernest was found in, but which indicate the wealth of the family to Lady Bracknell. Ernest states that there is no contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life when you are born in a hand-bag, no matter if it was large, black leather hand-bag, with handles to it or not.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Pets can improve your life. The ability of animalsin helping people recover from a range of health and emotional problems has long been scientifically recognized. Now, a survey reported in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology appears to show that owning a pet can help healthy individuals too. A number of experiments, carried out by two universities in the United States, indicate that pet owners are generally happier, healthier, fitter, more confident and better able to cope with everyday issues than non-owners. The researchers discovered that individuals have just as close a relationship with the key people in their lives, in other words, family and friends, as they have with their pets. And although they found no evidence that people choose emotional relationships with pets over relationships with other people, a study of university students showed that owning a pet helped them get over the break-up of a relationship with a partner.

Explanation:

The text shown above had the blanks completed with the words that best fit the text, in order to maintain the context of the message presented and providing a coherent, cohesive and meaningful text.

The text above addresses the benefits that people can have when they own a pet. The text states that these benefits were scientifically proven through scientific research carried out by different universities, where all had the same result, proving the veracity of the information.
