The correct answer is <em><u>option C. In the excerpt, Wilde uses the exchange between Gwendolen and Cecily to mock the formal courtship rules of Victorian society.</u></em> The excerpt belongs to "The importance of Being Ernest", a play written by Oscar Wilde and published in 1898. The whole play has the objective to shed a light on how ridiculous the norms of Victorian societies were, and how they affected the lives of the characters. All these rules made the characters hypocrites and liars, because in order to show the pomposity and morality that was demanded by society, they had to hide facts of their lives.

What is similar about analogical and symbolic representations?
icang [17]

The correct answer is: "One mental image can have both analogical and symbolic representations".

An analogical representation is a mental image that contains the physical characteristic of the object. For example, a map.

On the other hand, symbolic representations are abstract, as they do not resemble the features of the object. The main example of symbolic representation is writing, which refers to certain realities without using at all its physical features. Another example could be a logo.

<u>Some mental images can be simultaneously analogical and abstract.</u> Imagine a logo of a company. Most logos are totally abstract, as the ones of Nike or Lacoste which do not inform visually that they are related to a clothes brand. On the other hand, a logo can contain some of the physical characteristics of the underlying product/service/activity, such as the one of the WNBA (attached below). It is actually a cartoon which shows a woman playing basketball.
