The irony of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's ironically extreme measures to get their daughters well-married can be seen when Mrs. Bennet says <span><em>"What an excellent father you have, girls!" said [Mrs. Bennet], when the door was shut.</em> <em>"I do not know how you will ever make him amends for his kindness; or me, either, for that matter. At our time of life it is not so pleasant, I can tell you, to be making new acquaintances every day; but for your sakes, we would do anything."</em> This remark is ironically false because meeting new people everyday is not demanding at all, but she is trying to sell themselves as over-sacrificing parents for the future spouses of their daughters.</span>

Stories with supernatural elements were viewed differently in Shakespeare's time versus how they are viewed today because audiences during Shakespeare's time considered witches and curses to be real and therefore much scarier than today's audiences would. At that time people believed in witchcraft.
Explanation:
During the Elizabethan era, the age to which Shakespeare belong, there was a fear of the unknown and mysterious amongst the folks. Due to the lack of education they believed in the real existence of witches and other supernatural elements that were displayed through dramas, stories or books. Today, with the advancement of science and technology people are more practical and these elements of fear hold no relevance in their lives.

i would say that B is the most appropriate claim to argue that people should be more nutritionally knowledgeable. choice D is almost a counterargument, in a sense, because it lists a flaw with food labels. choice A is a statement, but it can be proven with evidence--one could look at a food label to search for the listed items.
