The word mistress during the Elizabethan era which was the time when Shakespeare wrote his plays had a very different meaning from the one we know nowadays.

A mistress was a high society woman, while people used to call master the men they also used to call mistress the women, so in this sonnet, he talks about his loved one as a woman with class and grace not a woman with a dubious reputation as we would think at first.

What elements of the Restoration comedy are seen in The Importance of Being Earnest?
Shalnov [3]

<em>Restoration comedy</em> was written and performed from 1660 to 1710.

Oscar Wilde's <em>The Importance of Being Earnest</em> has its fair share of elements from this type of comedy, which are:

  • the intricacy in plots, which brought depth to every character on the play and led to multiple conflicts.
  • the absence of heroes and the predominance of flawed characters who had many weaknesses.
  • the lack of emotion that leads to character development. They remain the same.

Look at the frames from iqbal.
Mnenie [13.5K]

C.) Both inform the reader that Faryad and Liaqat were not given the chance to tell their version of events at the police station.

In the frames, both Faryad and Liaqat put their fingerprint on a piece of paper when they are at the police station. However, neither of them  are given a chance to tell their story. In Faryad's case, "the police write down what they claim has happened". The testimony in the report is not Faryad's. In Liaqat's case, after he put his fingerprint on the paper, he was told to leave and not given any interview.

Option D is incorrect because the reader is not the one responsible for investigating what Faryad and Liaqat were prevented from saying. It does make the reader curious and interested, but the reader can't do the investigation. Option B is wrong because there is no miscommunication. Option A is wrong because there is no proof or even mention of a death in either the frames or the excerpt.
