Metonymy is a literary device that uses a specific word (especially a noun) in exchange of a term that represents an idea or an object. Metonymy is an example of the use of figurative language, which can enrich the meaning and literary style of a work.

An example of metonymy would be:

I have devoted my soul to you. The word soul, not only representing the original concept but the act of fully committing to someone.

Read the passage from The Importance of Being Earnest. Gwendolen. [To Jack.] Darling! Algernon. [To Cecily.] Darling! [They fall

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

In contrast to reading the scene, seeing the staged version of the scene would improve its aesthetic impact by allowing the audience to watch the actors' reactions, thereby adding to the humor.

Explanation:

Oscar Wilde's comedy play "The Importance of Being Ernest" revolves around the character of John Worthing and Algernon and the issue of class. The other themes in the play include marriage, social expectations, the ridiculousness or triviality of things deemed important, etc.

In the given excerpt from the play, we can see the scene where the two couples were 'showing affection' to their respective loves but then came Merriman and Lady Bracknell. It was then that the couples had to hurriedly stop their "public display of affection". And in contrast to reading this scene, a staged or performed version would improve the aesthetic impact as it will allow the audience to see how the actors/ characters react, adding to the humor of the whole scene.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
