Answer:

The narrator's description of the mother contrasted sharply with the revelation of the mother's secret, revealing her to be someone she presented herself not to be which surprises and shocks the reader, as the mother was practically described as being a saint.

Explanation:

In A Dead Woman's Secret the narrator described the mother as a rigid disciplinarian who instilled unshakable morals in her children, which resulted in the son becoming a magistrate without pity for the weak and the daughter becoming a nun.

This description creates an image of the mother as a virtuous woman in the reader's mind, as also assumed by her son and daughter.

So the surprise is real when the mother is revealed to be a woman who had an affair with a man that was not her husband, the behavior is not in keeping with who she was described to be.

Lady Bracknell says it is wrong to be honest with her husband.

The names of the college and class seem reasonable to Gwendolen’s father.

Explanation:

The three statements above are a representation of sharp critique of Victorian society present in the book 'The Importance of Being Earnest.'

The first statement reveals how deep the corruption of people runs where bribing a person who is considered trustworthy is standard practice.

The second statement says the truth about much coveted Victorian family values in which the Lady willfully is not honest with her husband.

The names of the college and Course are absurd to the point of utilitarian extremity of Victorian thought.

Answer:

Delete two of the three quotations

Slides with less text are more eye-catching, attractive and efficient. they allow the audience to have a greater focus on the presentation, in addition to making the presentation less tiring, allowing the audience to maintain the tension and interest from the beginning to the end of the presentation.
