Lady Bracknell : "I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone."  

Lady Bracknell says this when she is interviewing Jack as a potential suitor for Gwendolyn.

Gwendolyn Fairfax: "If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life."

After hearing the story about Miss Prism losing the handbag with a baby in it. Jack tells the women he must go up to his room for a minute. He asks Gwendolyn to wait for him and this quote is her response.

Jack Worthing: "It is a terrible thing for a man to find out suddenly that all his life he has been speaking nothing but the truth. Can you forgive me?"

Jack apologizes to Gwendolyn for lying about his identity when he realizes that, in fact, he had been telling the truth all along.  

Cecily Cardew: "Oh, I don't think I would care to catch a sensible man. I shouldn't know what to talk to him about."  

Cecily tells this to Algernon after she catches him flirting with her and he tells her that a sensible man could get caught in her good looks.

Algernon Moncrieff: "The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!"

Algernon says this in response to the knowledge that Jack does not actually have a younger brother named Ernest. Jack uses the fictious brother as a way to "escape" his life as a guardian to Cecily and have a little fun.

1. The now famous Carl Sandburg was born in 1878 in Galesburg, Illinois.
Anika [276]
1. Assuming that the underlined words are 'Carl Sandburg,' the correct answer is A. simple subject. Although you may be led to believe this is a complete subject (because it consists of more than one word), in fact, it is not. Carl Sandburg is the name and the surname of one person, which is why it is considered to be a simple, rather than a complete subject.

2. Assuming that the underlined words are '<span>served as a soldier during the Spanish-American War,' the correct answer is D. complete predicate. As you can see, these words include the simple verb served, as well as all other words which modify, or describe that verb. This is why this is complete, rather than a simple predicate. Simple predicate would be only the word served.

3. Assuming that the underlined words are 'would influence,' the correct answer is B. simple predicate. Similarly to the first sentence, you may be led to believe this is complete because there are more than one word in the phrase. However, the verb phrase would influence is considered to be one entity given that it is only a particular tense of that verb. Even if it said 'had been influencing' instead of 'would influence,' it would still be a simple predicate.</span>
