Answer:

D. Algernon pokes fun at the fact that marriage in his society often is based on social rules, not romance.

Explanation:

Oscar Wilde's comedy "The Importance of Being Ernest" revolves around a wealthy gentleman Algernon Moncrieff and his friend John Worthing. The story delves into themes of society, love, social status and the unnecessary belief in their alter egos' world that enables them to enjoy their lives.

In the given dialogue between the two men, Algernon seemed critical of Jack's decision to marry Gwendoline. For, according to Algy, love is <em>"business"</em> and something which Jack feels is <em>"unromantic".</em> But as Algy had rightly said, and considering 19th century England's society, it is only right to assume that marriage is a matter of social class rather than romance or love.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Answer:

- Controlled process.

Explanation:

Controlled processes are described as the processes that require the conscious attention or focus of the individual. Such processes require our deliberate or intentional effort to perform in a particular manner which is contrary to the automatic processing which doesn't require any such effort but instead an individual performs it without realizing it consciously(as one has been doing it for a long time).

In the given situation, Frank is engaged in his phone and therefore, could not think or pay attention(deliberately) to 'hear the doorbell'. He could not pay the focus that was required and thus, misses out to hear it. Therefore, '<u>controlled processes'</u> is the answer.
