Answer:

In contrast to reading the scene, seeing the staged version of the scene would improve its aesthetic impact by allowing the audience to <em><u>watch the actors' reactions, thereby adding to the humor.</u></em>

Explanation:

Oscar Wilde's comedy play "The Importance of Being Ernest" revolves around the character of John Worthing and Algernon and the issue of class. The other themes in the play include marriage, social expectations, the ridiculousness or triviality of things deemed important, etc.

In the given excerpt from the play, we can see the scene where the two couples were 'showing affection' to their respective loves but then came Merriman and Lady Bracknell. It was then that the couples had to hurriedly stop their "public display of affection". And <em><u>in contrast to reading this scene, a staged or performed version would improve the aesthetic impact as it will allow the audience to see how the actors/ characters react, adding to the humor of the whole scene.</u></em>

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

What is the pronoun case of the bolded word? give the permission slip to him?
mart [117]
The pronoun case of the bolded word <em>him </em>is objective case.
The words <em>to him </em>are used as indirect object in this sentence, which means that the case that the pronoun is used in is the objective case, or the accusative, in technical terms. The other case would be the subjective case, but given that there is no obvious subject in this sentence (it is implied), there are no subjective cases.
