The <span>significance of the full title of the play: The Importance of Being Earnest (A Trivial Comedy for Serious People) is that, m</span>arriage plots and social comedy were also typical of 1890s literature.  The white, Anglo-Saxon, male society of the time provided many targets of complacency and aristocratic attitudes that playwrights such as Wilde could attack.

The title of Oscar Wilde's most successful play. The Importance of Being Earnest features a salient pun in the form of the word "Earnest",


Earnest means "honest", and "truthful"


At the very beginning of the play, we learn that Jack has created a convenient younger brother named Ernest. We don't know why he comes up with that particular name, but we’re guessing Jack had a laugh or two over it. Jack, Ernest, fools his lady friends, all of whom have an obsession with the name "Ernest." Both Gwendolen and Cecily are in love with that name, based on an assumption that boys named Ernest will be as honest as the name suggests.

Write a letter to your district chief executive telling him/ her three problem facing my locality​
Katen [24]

Answer:

Letter to the District Chief Executive about three problem in my locality.

Explanation:

ABC Apartments

.................

To,

The District Chief Executive

....................

3 May 2016

Subject: Problems faced by residents of ABC Apartment complex.

Dear Sir,

It is with a deep concern for the welfare of the community that I am writing to you about several issues that are presently affecting our locality.

First are the damaged roads and street lights, which leave the roads dark and dangerous at night. There have been numerous accidents that were at times too extreme.

Secondly, there's the issue of water shortage which has left many of the residents unable to even prepare their meals on time. Some are even left to cook their meals with bottled water from the shops, which is expensive.

And thirdly, I would also like to point out the issue of the garbage collection system. Recently, the collectors have stopped coming to our locality, leaving residents unable to dispose of their wastes and stinking the whole area. This has also led to an increase in mosquitoes which is dangerous for us all.

I hope this letter gets your attention. We are looking forward to any response or solution from the concerned authorities.

Thank you.

Regards,

Mr. Ashish Sharma

A resident of ABC Apartments

Which is the subordinate clause in the sentence?
lara [203]
The subordinate clause here is A, "as the layers of ash slowly compressed". Subordinate means that it cannot exist on its own, it has to be a part of the main, independent clause.

Answer:

check whether the lady was safe and okay after the theft incident.

In the book "All American Boys" by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely, Rashad originally thought the officer in the store was yelling to check whether the lady was safe and okay after the theft incident.

However, he realized that the officer was not yelling to assure the safety of the lady but was yelling at him to stop from trying to run away. Rashad found out that he was falsely accused of theft by the storekeeper to the police officer.
