Answer:

Miss Prism. No married man is ever attractive except to his wife.

Explanation:

The story "The Importance of Being Earnest" is a classic example of comedy of manners. The story presents the picture of Victorian upper class society. The norms prevalent in the society at that time revolved around materialistic nature and superficial attitude. The Victorian society was much indulged in hypocrisy and frivolous nature. The materialistic nature and the norms of the society has been highlighted in the story.

The above line said by Miss Prism is an example of the feature of a comedy of manners. The importance of a husband has been only specified to his wife because of the materialistic support that the husband gives to the wife. The emotional aspect is not touched by this statement.

Read the excerpt below from the poem “Ulalume” by Edgar Allan Poe and answer the question that follows.

Deffense [45]

Alliteration: " as the scoriac Rivers that Roll— As the lavas that Restlessly Roll" (the 'r' sound is being repeated at the beginnings of words)

assonance: "In the ultimate climes of the pOle— That grOan as they rOll dOwn MOunt Yaanek In the realms of the bOreal pOle" (the vowel sound "o" is repeated throughout the words)

consonance: "of CypreSS, with PSyche, my Soul" (the consonant "s" sound is repeated at the beginning and ends of words)

These sound devices have a sing-songy effect on the poem which helps create the mystical and mysterious mood. It almost lulls the reader into a type of trance through the memory of the narrator.

imagery: "As the lavas that restlessly roll Their sulphurous currents down Yaanek"

This strong imagery helps to bring the memories to life for the reader and helps the reader relate to the mindset and the emotions of the narrator by providing images to compare them to. Comparing his heart bursting to the way lava flows down the side of a mountain creates a strong image.

prisoha [69]

The correct answer is the last ("Fortunato wants to continue their descent into the vaults for the Amontillado."). This is correct because the narrator has tempted Fortunato into retrieving the bottle of alcohol (which didn't really exist) so that Fortunato could be locked away, never to be seen again.

Hope this helps!
