Read the excerpt from paragraph 16 of “Once Upon a Time” and answer the question.

. . . there were attempts at reconciling the aesthetics of prison architecture with the Spanish Villa style . . .

What meaning is implied by the underlined words as they are used in this excerpt?

An indignant tone because the words offer such a cloaked response to the injustice of those wrongly accused or imprisoned
An ironic tone due to the unlikelihood that prison construction would consider a particular style of architecture, especially one of artistic beauty of any style
A callous attitude because the description of an institution that confines convicted criminals triggers feelings of insensitivity to the limited freedom of those who are restrained
A malicious attitude due to the sense that the intent of the reference to prison architecture is such a careless remark intended to purposefully attack

Answer:

  • A malicious attitude due to the sense that the intent of the reference to prison architecture is such a careless remark intended to purposefully attack.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Once Upon a Time, a family is so dreadful of outcasts from the underclass that they assemble a high divider around their home and top it with razor wire to endeavor to feel safe. Be that as it may, their divider doesn't protect them: their child attempts to climb the divider, gets tangled in the razor wire, and is slaughtered. The divider harms the family as opposed to helping them.

The story's contention is between the need individuals have for wellbeing and security and the truth that building dividers can't protect us. The contention, consequently, is between the craving to grasp a shortsighted, "fantasy" answer for the mind boggling issue of managing individuals who are extraordinary, and the methodology that may prompt genuine security: doing the diligent work of making authentic associations that assemble trust and compatibility between various gatherings of people.
