Jack is concerned with making sure that Gwendolen is happy, but Lady Bracknell is concerned only with whether Jack can prove he has important family members. Lady Bracknell’s response is ridiculous because it is impossible to expect Jack to miraculously find one of his parents. Jack’s offer to produce the handbag as a suitable substitute for his parents highlights how ridiculous her request is.


Hope this helps :)

This passage uses humor to critique Victorian views about the importance of family by showing that feel as if children (aka starting a family) are everyday items like a "hand-bag".

Northfield is a model city in Westport County. Crime rates have dropped 28% in the last five years, and new business development
Over [174]
<span>The correct answer would be D. Answer C neglects any opposing viewpoints, and is more of a closing sentence for the opposing argument generated in Answer D. Although the answers A and B throw Proposition S into a negative light, they do not themselves generate an opposing argument. Rather, they are just quick statements supporting the argument presented in answer D. D most sufficiently represents an opposing viewpoint as it acknowledges the other side of the argument, presents a statement that opposes this acknowledged argument, and follows with multiple supporting statements to strengthen the reasoning for opposing Proposition S. The passage continues to support this statement with: These city governments would be required to pay for public services in areas where local politicians have failed to find a way to fund their own projects. Approximately $12.3 million dollars of tax revenue would be redirected toward county projects. Many programs at our new community center will have to be cut. (Answer A) *This would affect more than 40,000 citizens of Northfield. The construction of Northfield Park would probably have to be put on hold. (Answer B) The passage closes with. What is good for Northfield is good for all of Westport County. (Answer C) As these are just supporting statements for the argument presented in Answer D, or closing the letter, they cannot be the main opposing viewpoint being addressed. Therefore, they would be incorrect.</span>
