Answer: 1) What Goldsmith means, is that Death, is something all humans experience. Our mortality makes death inevitable and inescapable. Making it a somewhat, permanent condition.

2) "Like sex. death both fascinates youth and makes their elders reticent" I agree with this statement.  Youth, are driven by emotions and feeling, making them more fascinated and intrigued by intercourse. They are knew to this aspect of love and life. Elders, may become less amused, and more silent about the topic. Having known it's personal and not something to be shared openly. They keep it to themselves.

Hope this helps (^_^)

Read the passage from The Importance of Being Earnest.
MatroZZZ [7]

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>
