Question

What does the couple's argument in the excerpt, Of Pride & Prejudice, portray in regards to how the couple feel toward their daughters? (choose the best answer) Question 3 options: portrays their equal and unwavering love for their daughters portrays their favoritism toward particular daughters portrays that Elizabeth is the favorite daughter hands-down portrays their animosity over having had children in the first place

Answer 1

Portrays that Elizabeth is the favorite daughter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" is a comical but serious depiction of the English society during the Georgian Era. Through the family depiction of the Bennets, Austen shows how marriage of young girls to rich gentlemen was the most important 'aim/ job' of parents.

Based on the options given, it can be assumed that the argument excerpt will be from the first chapter of the novel where Mr. and Mrs. Bennet were discussing about Bingly, the new occupant of Netherfield. Mr. Bennet seems to be particularly siding with Elizabeth, saying that the other daughters "are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters". Mrs. Bennet seem to contradict her husband, claiming that "Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving her the preference".
