Answer:
Jack is respectable and kind while Algernon is selfish and witty.
Explanation:
A central purpose of the scene between Algernon and Lane is to lay the foundation for the joke about the cucumber sandwiches, an incident that marks the first appearance of food as a source of conflict as well as a substitute for other appetites. Algernon has ordered some cucumber sandwiches especially for Lady Bracknell, but during the scene with Lane, he absentmindedly eats all the sandwiches himself. In this particular scene, food substitutes for the idea of sex. Algernon’s insatiable appetite, his preoccupation with food, and his habit of wantonly indulging himself politely suggest other forms of voraciousness and wanton self-indulgence. This idea becomes apparent in the early exchange between Algernon and Jack over the question of whether Jack should eat cucumber sandwiches or bread and butter. Here, Algernon interprets eating as a form of social, even sexual, presumption. Algernon can eat the cucumber sandwiches because he’s Lady Bracknell’s blood relation, but Jack, who hardly knows Lady Bracknell, should stay away from them. When Jack demonstrates too much enthusiasm for the bread and butter, Algernon reproaches him for behaving as though he were “married to [Gwendolen] already,” as though he had touched her in an aggressive or salacious manner.
Answer:
B because fanatics and enthusiasts get excited over a specific thing
A company making profit from genetically modified potatoes would probably only say good things about genetically modified profits, so they'd likely be biased.
A book written by a freelance author whose previous books were about other scientific issues would likely have the book about genetic modification in general, rather than the historical development of it, so his book wouldn't be the best source to use.
A book written by a woman who believes she got sick from genetically modified products would probably be biased against genetically modified products, so her book wouldn't be the best source.
A book written by a scientist who helped develop the technology to genetically modify vegetables would probably know a lot about the historical development, considering he helped develop it. This is the best source to use in my opinion.
