Answer:
-Lady Bracknell says her maid is trustworthy but has to bribe her to get help.
-The names of the college and class seem reasonable to Gwendolen’s father.
-Lady Bracknell says it is wrong to be honest with her husband.
Explanation:
These three statements are meant to poke fun at the logic, or lack thereof, of Victorian society. They all use humour in order to portray a significant flaw in their society. In the first statement, Bracknell explains that her maid is trustworthy. However, she was still able to be bought by means of a small coin, which makes the statement ridiculous. The second sentence is similarly ironic. The name of the college and class are ludicrous, and they poke fun at the importance the characters give to money. However, these were reasonable to Gwendolen's father. Finally, Lady Bracknell is deceitful and dishonest with her husband, which she sees as a quality. This is similarly ridiculous, and it pokes fun at the dishonesty that was common in social relations during this time period.
Answer:
It is likely that Elijah's servant was feeling cheated at first and was annoyed by Elias' insistence, but after the rain came down, his feelings changed and he began to see Elias as a great leader and a man of God.
Explanation:
This question refers to the biblical reading present in 1 Kings 18: 42-45, where Elijah had prophesied that it would rain in the region that had not rained for a long time. However, Elijah had spoken to God and had faith that the rain would come.
For this reason, he caused his servant to go up a hill, look towards the sea and see if there were any clouds as a sign of Rain. In doing so the servant reports that the sky is clear and that there is no sign that it will rain.
Then Elijah orders him to go up seven more times, which may have upset the servant and may have stimulated thoughts that he was being deceived by Elijah. However, after climbing seven times, the servant claims that the sky has a small cloud, the size of a man's hand. So Elijah says that this is the sign that it is going to rain.
The servant must have thought that Elijah was crazy, but after a few minutes it started raining with vigorous worms, which must have changed the servant's feelings towards Elijah, who was now seen as a man of God, prophet and leader.
