Answer:

The Importance of Being Earnest has proven to be Oscar Wilde's most enduring—and endearing—play.

Step-by-step explanation:

The play's title can be deceptive. Rather than a form of the name Ernest, the title implies earnestness as a quality one should seek to acquire, as in being honest, sincere, sober, and serious.
