Answer:
Michael: Hey Chike, how prepared are you for the entry test?
Chike: I've done the best I can, but I don't think I'm prepared.
Michael: Where do you have difficulty?
Chike: I don't have a clue about Chemistry. I've tried to understand it, but I can't.
Michael: I could help, if you want.
Chike: No, no need. I'm going to cheat on the test.
Michael: No, that's not good.
Chike: My mind is made up, without cheating, I can't ace the test.
Michael: If you cheat and get into college, will you keep cheating? You would still meet Chemistry there.
Chike: Yeah, you're right. What time would you be free, so we can revise?
Michael: Anytime from 8.
Chike: Alright. Thank you.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read the excerpt from Act III of The Importance of Being Earnest.
Jack- Pray excuse me, Lady Bracknell, for interrupting you again, but it is only fair to tell you that according to the terms of her grandfather’s will Miss Cardew does not come legally of age till she is thirty-five.
The best conclusion that can be drawn from Jack’s words is that he is ______.
A) Arrogant
B) Mannerly
C) Religious
D) Impatient
Answer:
The best conclusion that can be drawn from Jack’s words is that he is B) Mannerly.
Explanation:
<u>Mannerly is an adjective used to refer to someone who is polite or well-mannered. After reading the excerpt, we can safely say Jack is a mannerly person. He apologizes for interrupting Lady Bracknell. Furthermore, instead of being harsh or straightforward, he uses words that indicate he respects her - "it is only fair to tell you."</u> Had he simply interrupted Lady Bracknell and said "But Miss Cardew does not come legally of age till she is thirty-five," he would not have been mannerly at all.
"The Importance of Being Earnest" is a play by Oscar Wilde in which the characters create fictitious personae (pretend to be someone else) to escape social obligations they consider heavy or boring.
