The correct answer is D. <span>Mr. Shiftlet has the car he wanted and managed to rid himself of his wife, but he still is not happy. Mr. Shiftlet went through a lot to acquire this car - he even married a deaf and mute woman. Now he got rid of her by leaving her in a restaurant by the road, and enjoys the first opportunity to drive the car alone.

The correct options are "determining the central idea of the text"; "looking for facts and examples"; "considering all the evidence" and " finding repeated words and phrases".
In the process of citing supporting details it is necessary to have the central idea of the text in mind so as to make sure the quotations are connected to the text. Since the purpose of citing is to support ideas, you need to find examples and specific facts, and to evaluate their appropiatness and connection to the text. Some repetition within the text is necessary as well because it helps you establish the connection between the citation and the text, so as to help the reader follow the text easily

The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People is a play by Oscar Wilde. First performed on 14 February 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personæ to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways. Contemporary reviews all praised the play's humour, though some were cautious about its explicit lack of social messages, while others foresaw the modern consensus that it was the culmination of Wilde's artistic career so far. Its high farce and witty dialogue have helped make The Importance of Being Earnest Wilde's most enduringly popular play.
The successful opening night marked the climax of Wilde's career but also heralded his downfall. The Marquess of Queensberry, whose son Lord Alfred Douglas was Wilde's lover, planned to present the writer with a bouquet of rotten vegetables and disrupt the show. Wilde was tipped off and Queensberry was refused admission. Soon afterwards their feud came to a climax in court, where Wilde's homosexual double life was revealed to the Victorian public and he was eventually sentenced to imprisonment. His notoriety caused the play, despite its early success, to be closed after 86 performances. After his release, he published the play from exile in Paris, but he wrote no further comic or dramatic work.
The Importance of Being Earnest has been revived many times since its premiere. It has been adapted for the cinema on three occasions. In The Importance of Being Earnest (1952), Dame Edith Evans reprised her celebrated interpretation of Lady Bracknell; The Importance of Being Earnest (1992) by Kurt Baker used an all-black cast; and Oliver Parker's The Importance of Being Earnest (2002) incorporated some of Wilde's original material cut during the preparation of the original stage production.
