Read this excerpt from The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. Which four sets of lines satirize the Victorians' tendency to place wealth above other factors in deciding whether a person was eligible for marriage?
Algernon: I am engaged to be married to Cecily, Aunt Augusta.

Lady Bracknell: I beg your pardon?

Cecily: Mr. Moncrieff and I are engaged to be married, Lady Bracknell.

Lady Bracknell: [With a shiver, crossing to the sofa and sitting down.]
... I think some preliminary inquiry on my
part would not be out of place. Mr. Worthing, is Miss Cardew at all
connected with any of the larger railway stations in London? I merely
desire information. Until yesterday I had no idea that there were any
families or persons whose origin was a Terminus. [Jack looks perfectly
furious, but restrains himself.]

Jack: [In a clear, cold voice.] Miss Cardew is the grand-daughter of
the late Mr. Thomas Cardew of 149 Belgrave Square, S.W.; Gervase Park,
Dorking, Surrey; and the Sporran, Fifeshire, N.B.

Lady Bracknell: That sounds not unsatisfactory. Three addresses always
inspire confidence, even in tradesmen.

...

Jack: [Very irritably.] How extremely kind of you, Lady Bracknell! I
have also in my possession, you will be pleased to hear, certificates of
Miss Cardew's birth, baptism, whooping cough, registration, vaccination,
confirmation, and the measles; both the German and the English variety.

Lady Bracknell: Ah! A life crowded with incident, I see; though perhaps
somewhat too exciting for a young girl. I am not myself in favour of
premature experiences. [Rises, looks at her watch.] Gwendolen! the time
approaches for our departure. We have not a moment to lose. As a matter
of form, Mr. Worthing, I had better ask you if Miss Cardew has any little
fortune?

Jack: Oh! about a hundred and thirty thousand pounds in the Funds. That
is all. Goodbye, Lady Bracknell. So pleased to have seen you.

Lady Bracknell: [Sitting down again.] A moment, Mr. Worthing. A
hundred and thirty thousand pounds! And in the Funds! Miss Cardew seems
to me a most attractive young lady, now that I look at her. Few girls of
the present day have any really solid qualities, any of the qualities
that last, and improve with time. We live, I regret to say, in an age of
surfaces. [To Cecily.] Come over here, dear. [Cecily goes across.]
Pretty child! your dress is sadly simple, and your hair seems almost as
Nature might have left it. But we can soon alter all that.

Answer 1

Answer: The last passage should be correct

Explanation: when the dude here how much money is in the funds he says she looks pretty which seems sus.

what major historical event inspried victor hugo in witing the novel

Answers

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer: June Rebellion

Explanation:

The major historical event that inspired Victor Hugo to write Les Misérables was the June Rebellion of 1832, also known as the Paris Uprising of 1832.

The rebellion led by Enroljas and the students known as the “Friends of the ABC” is similar to the real story of the french revolutionaries that led a two-day uprising in Paris and were then defeated by the armed forces.

Another real-life inspiration for the book was Eugene Francois Vidocq, who similarly to Jean Valjean, was a reformed ex-convict who later became the first director of the French Sureté Nationale crime agency.

But it was Victor Hugo´s first-hand experience as a witness of the historical revolt that inspired the setting of the story.

The 383 gray wolves are a part of Yellowstone National Park
and therefore a part of the world.

For that reason alone, the gray wolves in Wyoming-their
numbers have now swelled to 383-should be protected
against being hunted to extinction again.

Therefore, the 383 gray wolves now living in and around
Yellowstone should be left alone to spread south to Colorado
and west to Idaho and north into Montana.

Many reasons support letting the 383 gray wolves stay in and
around the Yellowstone area, and I will discuss some of them.

Answers

Gray wolves disappeared from the Yellow Stone National Park, because when the National Park was built during the early 1800s, 1872 to be exact, Gray wolves were not protected by the park itself, there were no laws to protect these species, which is why hunters, who come across the park, hunts these gray wolves until their population decreased.

The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky

Written by Stephen Crane


The great Pullman (a Pullman is a term for a luxury railway car) was whirling onward with such dignity of motion that a glance from the window seemed simply to prove that the plains of Texas were pouring eastward. Vast flats of green grass, dull-hued spaces of mesquite and cactus, little groups of frame houses, woods of light and tender trees, all were sweeping into the east, sweeping over the horizon, a precipice. A newly married pair had boarded this coach at San Antonio. The man's face was reddened from many days in the wind and sun, and a direct result of his new black clothes was that his brick-colored hands were constantly performing in a most conscious fashion. From time to time he looked down respectfully at his attire. He sat with a hand on each knee, like a man waiting in a barber's shop. The glances he devoted to other passengers were furtive and shy. The bride was not pretty, nor was she very young. She wore a dress of blue cashmere, with small reservations of velvet here and there and with steel buttons abounding. She continually twisted her head to regard her puff sleeves, very stiff, straight, and high. They embarrassed her. It was quite apparent that she had cooked, and that she expected to cook, dutifully. The blushes caused by the careless scrutiny of some passengers as she had entered the car were strange to see upon this plain, under-class countenance, which was drawn in placid, almost emotionless lines. They were evidently very happy. "Ever been in a parlor-car before?" he asked, smiling with delight. "No," she answered, "I never was. It's fine, ain't it?" "Great! And then after a while we'll go forward to the diner and get a big layout. Finest meal in the world. Charge a dollar."

Read the paragraph from the text and the directions that follow.

But, when all the girls in town are seeking to steal your husband, what are you going to do about it, if you are a woman of forty-five with a heaviness around the hips and a disinclination to learn the camel walk? Nor can you get the poachers off the scent by crossing the trail with an eligible bachelor. Logically, the young things should have enough sense to ignore a preempted husband and attend to the serious business of getting themselves husbands. But they haven’t. They seem to prefer the husbands of the other women. And curiously, the more they engage in this exotic sport of poaching, the less keen they become about owning a property for somebody else to poach on.

According to the author, what is one reason that flappers steal older women’s husbands? Answer choices for the above question

1: All flappers prefer men who are married.

2: There are not enough single men available.

3: All flappers want to be married themselves.

4: There are no eligible bachelors who prefer flappers

Answers

Answer: Hi there! My best guess for this question would be 1: All flappers prefer men who are married.

Explanation: Every other answer just doesn't feel right to me for some reason...?

With 2, the speaker never said that there were not enough single men available for flappers. In fact, they were leaving to go FOR the flappers since they were "more beautiful" than their wide-hipped and grey wives, which is why 4 makes no sense to me.

Lastly, choice 3 is just really confusing to me, so I'd rather not choose it for the sake of misinterpreting it...

Please feel free to disagree with my answer. I hope that this helps out in some way. :)
