Answer:
A.
Explanation:
The irony that Mary Shelley used in the passage when Felix teaches Safie English was the choice that he makes in choosing the book "Ruins of Empires" by Volney. The book speaks about the "slothful Asiatics" about the wars, etc.
While Felix teaches English to Safie, the monster also learns the language. and while learning language he also learns about the vices of humans to each other. Another irony we can find in the text was that the monster is by name monster but in nature, humans are monstrous because of the deeds that they do with each other.
The correct option is A.
The setting of the story, the deep south during the Great Depression, is very important to the story. Race relations hadn't changed a great deal from the 1930's to the late 1950's when Harper Lee wrote the novel, so she could write about a past time from a view into her current time. Blacks in the south were segregated as many southerners, like many people, did things the way their parents and grandparents did them and thought the way their parents and grandparents thought. In the 1930's, the Civil War was 70 years old, but the grandparents of adults during 1930's would have probably had a clear memory of it. People didn't travel much in the 1930's due to lack of money and lack of opportunity. People were much more provincial then than they are now because, in part, we have mass media and easy access to travel. That provincialism helped maintain the views of southerners from the Civil War through the 1930's and beyond. All of that information makes it easier to understand why some of the characters in the story acted the way they did, particularly the uneducated ones. The jury in the Tom Robinson trial was made up mostly of farmers who would have had a very limited education, so their prejudices ran deep. That doesn't excuse what they did, but it does help explain it. If the story had been set in a more modern time after the Civil Rights movement, there would have been less chance of a guilty verdict, no matter where the story was set. Also important to the story's setting is the fact that the story does take place in the rural south. These people were greatly and negatively affected by the Great Depression. Many of the small farmers, like the Cunninghams, couldn't make ends meet with what was grown on their farms. They were angry and bitter and sometimes that anger came out at any convenient source such as when the group of farmers planned to lynch Tom at the jail. The setting was essential to the story so that the reader could see how ignorance bred prejudice and enlightenment banished it.

Answer:
Lady Bracknell says her maid is trustworthy but has to bribe her to get help.
Lady Bracknell says it is wrong to be honest with her husband.
The names of the college and class seem reasonable to Gwendolen’s father.
Explanation:
The three statements above are a representation of sharp critique of Victorian society present in the book 'The Importance of Being Earnest.'
The first statement reveals <u>how deep the corruption of people runs where bribing a person who is considered trustworthy</u> is standard practice.
The second statement says <u>the truth about much coveted Victorian family values </u>in which the Lady willfully is not honest with her husband.
The names of the college and Course<u> are absurd to the point of utilitarian extremity of Victorian thought.</u>
