Alifa Rifaat's short story "Another Evening at the Club" paints a clear picture of the powerless, inferior role of women in Egyptian society: the main character Samia is trapped in an arranged marriage in which she is repeatedly forced into betraying her own values and beliefs.
For example, when Bey, her husband, says to Samia "Tell people you're from the well-known Barakat family and that your father was a judge," she is obliged to lie about her own family's social status, in spite of how she was raised to be an honest person, just for the sake of making Bey look more important in the public eye.
In the end, Bey forces Samia into the ultimate act of dishonesty: protecting a lie that is causing their servant to be tortured, only to avoid his husband's embarrassment, when he says "By now the whole town knows the servant stole the ring—or would you like me to tell everyone: 'Look,folks, the fact is that the wife got a bit tiddly on a couple of sips of beer and the ring took off on its own and hid itself behind the dressing-table."

Answer: The two correct answers are: “the townspeople” and "the judge (“jedge”)". Taken from the novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain (1884), Twain ridicules the townspeople and the judge in the excerpt presented above. In this passage from Chapter 23 of the novel, the duke and the dauphin make a performance so brief that the crowd nearly attacks them. They recited lines from Shakespeare in some shows, but they did not know the full meaning of the words. Twain here ridicules the townspeople and the judge because of their level of ignorance; townspeople could be easily deceived, since they did not have a basic education. Twain ridicules them through the irony in the judge’s statement saying that the townspeople truly believe it is more sensible to devise a plan to fool the others too instead of admitting they have been fooled. Finally, Huck and the duke did not perform a third show and escaped before the townspeople coming to get their revenge attack them.
