“The Elephant Man:” What is most likely the author’s intent in having Ross repeat the phrase “Tuppence only, step in and see” in

the passage below?
“ROSS: Tuppence only, step in and see: This side of the grave, John Merrick has no hope nor expectation of relief. In every sense his situation is desperate. His physical agony is exceeded only by his mental anguish, a despised creature without consolation. Tuppence only, step in and see! To live with his physical hideousness, incapacitating deformities and unremitting pain is trial enough, but to be exposed to the cruelly lacerating expressions of horror and disgust by all who behold him—is even more difficult to bear. Tuppence only, step in and see!”
Question 17 options:

a)

To add humor to an otherwise serious subject

b)

To build mystery and anticipation for Merrick’s introduction

c)

To introduce the character of Treves

d)

To establish that Ross is not trustworthy
