English

Answer:

to attack the fake morality and superficiality he saw in Victorian society.

Explanation:

A dandy is an overdressed, trivial, and ineffectual man who is most interested in other people's perceptions.

In the play <u>The Importance of Being Earnest</u>, Wilde portrays his character Algernon as a dandy.

Algernon is shown to be almost obsessed with his appearance. For example, he wants his neckties and buttonholes always to be prim and proper. Although Algernon is also charming, witty, and smart, he does not seem to recognize any moral duty or responsibility.

The simple subject is the key noun or pronoun that tells what the sentence is about.

A compound subject is made up of two or more simple subjects that are joined by a

conjunction and have the same verb.

The lantern glows. Moths and bugs fly nearby.

2. The simple predicate is the verb or verb phrase that expresses the essential thought

about the subject of the sentence. A compound predicate is made up of two or more

verbs or verb phrases that are joined by a conjunction and have the same subject.

Rachel jogged down the hill.

Pete stretched and exercised for an hour.

3. The complete subject consists of the simple subject and all the words that modify it.

Golden curly hair framed the child’s face.

The soft glow of sunset made her happy.

4. The complete predicate consists of the simple predicate and all the words that modify

it or complete its meaning.

Lindy ate a delicious muffin for breakfast.

or part of the predicate precedes the subject.

finlep [7]
