Question

The mention of _’s name stops Lady Bracknell from leaving the Manor House with Gwendolen.

• A. Bunbury
• B. Miss Prism
• C. Dr. Chasuble
• D. Ernest Worthing

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Ernest Worthing

• The mention of Miss Prism’s name stops Lady Bracknell from leaving the Manor House with Gwendolen.

• When Lady Bracknell hears Miss Prism’s name, she suddenly becomes extremely interested and demands to see her. This is because Miss Prism was the governess who, years ago, mysteriously disappeared with a baby boy—a baby that turns out to be Jack himself.

• This unexpected turn of events leads to the hilarious revelation that Jack is actually Lady Bracknell’s long-lost nephew, making him Algernon’s older brother and of proper social standing to marry Gwendolen.
