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.

2.4 Evaluate the consequences of NOT applying for funding for your studies.
lisov135 [29]

Self-financing ones studies can be very burdensome because it means in many cases, working extra jobs to keep up. This certainly will create a work-life-study imbalance. Hence the need for Academic Funding.

<h3>Here are some of the consequences of not applying for funding</h3>

1. Poor Attendance of Lectures

2. Problems with enrollment status

3. In some cases, dropping out because one can no longer keep up

4. high emotional stress

5. bad academic performance etc.

One way to avoid the above is to simply apply for funding or a scholarship.

Musya8 [376]
First, I will ask her again if she understood what I said because there may be a language barrier between us. She may have misunderstood, which is why she held her hand out expecting money. If she says she understood what I was asking, I will ask her how much money she wants for the photo and base my final decision on that.
