Answer:

The effect the pun has on this scene is:

A. It makes the scene more humorous.

Explanation:

"The Importance of Being Earnest" is a play by Oscar Wilde in which the characters pretend to be someone else to escape social obligations they consider heavy or boring.

<u>In this particular excerpt, we have a typical example of the type of humor Wilde would develop in his stories. While Jack is speaking of losing his parents in the sense of losing them to death, Lady Bracknell is talking of losing as one would lose a wallet in the street. The seriousness of Jack's words is erased by the pun, which most likely surprises as well as entertains the audience.</u>

Contact [7]

Answer: Our future does not exist, just like alien invasions do not exist either.

Explanation: We build our own future, in the present with plans, which will become true if we work hard. Alien invasions can only exist in our mind, just like future only exists in our minds at the present. Do not let your mind be "invaded" by "aliens", invade your mind yourself with amazing plans.

Which greek word best describes oedipus's realization?
alexgriva [62]
I would say Anagnorisis. This means when a character makes a critical discovery, in this case he finds out he was sleeping with his mom and killed his father. It also means a change in what a person stood for. He stood for finding who was the killer, and cursed him, only to find out its him.
