Jack. May I ask you then what you would advise me to do? I need hardly say I would do anything in the world to ensure Gwendolen’

s happiness. Lady Bracknell. I would strongly advise you, Mr. Worthing, to try and acquire some relations as soon as possible, and to make a definite effort to produce at any rate one parent, of either sex, before the season is quite over. Jack. Well, I don’t see how I could possibly manage to do that. I can produce the hand-bag at any moment. It is in my dressing-room at home. I really think that should satisfy you, Lady Bracknell. –The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde
In three to four sentences, explain how this passage uses humor to critique Victorian views about the importance of family.

Sample Response: Jack is concerned with making sure that Gwendolen is happy, but Lady Bracknell is concerned only with whether Jack can prove he has important family members. Lady Bracknell’s response is ridiculous because it is impossible to expect Jack to miraculously find one of his parents. Jack’s offer to produce the handbag as a suitable substitute for his parents highlights how ridiculous her request is.

To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me ... possible, and to make a definite effort to produce at any rate one parent, of either sex, before the season is quite over. Jack. Well, I don't see how I could possibly manage to do that. I can produce ... It is in my dressing-room at home.

Which sentence uses an objective case pronoun as an indirect object?
tamaranim1 [39]

Which sentence uses an objective case pronoun as an indirect object?

I sent him an attachment that included photos of the picnic.

The indirect object him identifies to whom the action of the verb <u>sent</u> is performed.  

<em>Wrong options:</em>

I e-mailed him yesterday.

(The direct object <em>him</em> is the receiver of action within this sentence: I emailed him).

He wrote back to Bob and I with an answer to our questions.

(I is not an objective case pronoun; it should be "He wrote back to Bob and <u>me</u>...")

So, once again, the answer is the 2nd sentence (I sent him an attachment that included photos of the picnic.)

Read this excerpt from "An Hour with Abuelo."
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Answer B) It proves that the nursing home is not a pleasant place for Abuelo to live.

Explanation:

Answer A is not correct because there is no mention of any hospital.

Answer C although may sound correct, it mentions that the narrator was put off by the smell. If it were the correct answer, the narrator wouldn't feel as disgusted as they feel.

Answer D really has no relation to the excerpt. It could be true, but it is not demonstrated in <em>this</em> excerpt.

The only answer that is related to the excerpt and states plainly the point of the text is Answer B.

What is an inverted sentence? (5 points)
Damm [24]
An inverted sentence is a sentence with reversed order, which means that the predicate (verb) is stated first before the subject (noun). This is done to emphasize the verb in the sentence. An example of an inverted sentence is: In the garden, bloomed colorful flowers.
