Question

Miss Prism goes on a walk with _, leaving Cecily alone.

• A. Dr. Chasuble
• B. Algernon
• C. Jack
• D. Gwendolen

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Dr. Chasuble

• Miss Prism goes on a walk with Dr. Chasuble, leaving Cecily alone.

• Their walk is part of Miss Prism’s subtle flirtation with Dr. Chasuble, the local rector. While they are away, Algernon arrives at the Manor House pretending to be Jack’s (imaginary) brother Ernest, setting up one of the play’s biggest comedic misunderstandings.

• This moment is crucial because Cecily, who has already imagined herself engaged to "Ernest," immediately believes Algernon is the man she has been dreaming about, leading to a hilarious and exaggerated courtship.
