Just as two colors will, when carefully mixed, form a third and different color (yellow and blue, for example, produce green), s

o too it is sometimes possible to see in the cooperative efforts of living things a resultant accomplishment that defies description on the basis of the characteristics of the creatures involved. A description of the traits and performances of the individual members of a hive of honeybees or a championship athletic team hardly serves to describe the results of their joint efforts.
Which of the following sentences best describes this paragraph?
Make a Selection:
A. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
B. The race goes to the swift.

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.

It was “assumed” that the windmill plans had been rubbed off the floor. How does Orwell use this word to describe the animals’ l

In chapter 3, they also assumed that pigs needed apples and milk to sustain themselves. Assuming things can't always be accurate. It's better to collect facts first before deciding things.
