Question

Read this sentence from a report on Oscar Wilde.

Oscar Wilde uses humor to critique society and show that there is too much concern about coming from a proper family.

Which line from The Importance of Being Earnest best makes this point?

“Where did the charitable gentleman who had a first-class ticket for this seaside resort find you?”
“Yes, Lady Bracknell. I was in a hand-bag—a somewhat large, black leather hand-bag, with handles to it—an ordinary hand-bag in fact.”
“To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . .”
“May I ask you then what you would advise me to do? I need hardly say I would do anything in the world to ensure Gwendolen’s happiness.”

Answer 1

Answer is C “To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . .”

Answer 2

"To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . ."

Step-by-step explanation:

Oscar Wilde was a famous writer. He used humor to criticize society and to show that there was too much concern about coming from a proper family. So the best line that describes this point is the third one that says "To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . ." explains the difficulties of facing society in this world.
