Complete Question:

Which description best matches the character Algernon in Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest".

A. sophisticated with strong morals

B. powerful, conservative, and arrogant

C. self-absorbed, witty, and sincere

D. respected and admired by others

Correct Option:

The "Self-absorbed, witty, and sincere" description best matches the character Algernon in Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest".

Option: C

Step-by-step explanation:

Algernon is a charming, witty bachelor embodying the dandy stereotype. He is not an immoral character but is certainly amoral, and is not concerned with duty and ethics problems. His principal interests are to be imaginative, open, smart, talented and lead a beautiful life. While Algernon participates in deceitful behaviour, he does not try to cover it up quite as much as Jack does, and when asked, he openly admits it. Thus can be recognized as self- absorbed, sincere and witty.
