Lady Bracknell. I am pleased to hear it. I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square. What is your income? —The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde What does this passage most clearly reveal about Lady Bracknell? She believes in the importance of education. She believes in equality among all people. She believes that ignorance is a desirable trait.

Answer: C) She believes that ignorance is a desirable trait.

Step-by-step explanation: In the given excerpt from "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde, we can see the description of Lady Bracknell's about she thinks ignorance is a desirable trait, because she says that if education really worked, and people weren't ignorant, they will be a threat for the upper classes and it could be the cause of violent acts, so the correct answer is option C.
