Question

What is Cecliy’s response when “Ernest” asks if she will marry him? Question 3 options: She says yes because they’re already engaged She says no because they’ve only just met She says yes because she knows that it’s love at first sight She says no because her Uncle Jack wouldn’t approve

Answer 1

In the Importance of Being Ernest, Cecily's response when "Ernest" asks is she will marry him is the first one: She says yes because they're already engaged.

"Ernest" actually is surprised to find out that Cecily thinks they are already engaged to be married and not only that, but she reveals that her sustained fascination with "uncle's Jack brother" had moved her to invent a romance between herself and Ernest.

Cecily had created an entire relationship with love letters included (that she herself had written), a ring, a broken engagement, and a reconciliation. All chronically told in her personal diary.
