The excerpt missing in the question is the following:

JACK: Gwendolen, will you marry me? (Goes on his knees.)

GWENDOLEN: Of course I will, darling. How long you have been about it! I am afraid you have had very little experience in how to propose.

JACK: My own one, I have never loved any one in the world but you.

GWENDOLEN: Yes, but men often propose for practice. I know my brother Gerald does. All my girl-friends tell me so. What wonderfully blue eyes you have, Ernest! They are quite, quite, blue. I hope you will always look at me just like that, especially when there are other people present.

Gwendolen portrays Victorian qualities of being (serious, sophisticated, enthusiastic, superficial, excited) . Gwendolen's lines imply that her brother is (poetic, flirtatious, snobby, unattractive, old-fashioned)

Gwendolen portrays Victorian qualities of being 1. superficial. Gwendolen's lines imply that her brother is 2. flirtatious.

Explanation:

1. In this excerpt, Wilde reveals Gwendolen's superficiality and vanity. Without giving it much thought, she accepts the proposal and expresses her admiration to Jack's eyes and her wish to always be looked by him like that especially when there are other people present. All of this reveals Gwendolen's interest in appearances and people's opinions.

Gwendolen keeps showcasing this Victorian quality thorough the story. as the story moves forward, we learn that the only reason why Gwedolen wants Jack is because he is called Ernest, and when she finds out that her real name is Jack, she will not forgive him unless he is baptized again with the name Ernest.

2. When Gwendolen tells Jack that men often propose for practice and that his brother Gerald does too, she is implying that he is flirtatious and that he proposes to women without serious intent and without a real interest to those people he proposes to.

Answer from: Quest

The answer is actually b. explanation: lines that signify human-like characteristics: “a half a dozen kissed the eves”raindrops don’t usually ‘kiss’ anything, as it is a human action. lines that signify playfulness: “and made the gables laugh” a gable is the part of a wall that encloses a pitched roof, so it is certainly not living and cannot really laugh. this is a human characteristic and signifies playfulness.

Biologists recognize five levels of cell organization. the lowest and simplest is the cellular level. organisms here are either unicellular organisms, like protozoa, or colonial organisms. colonial organisms are composed of single-celled individuals that stay together to sustain the life of the whole colony. next on the scale of complexity is the level occupied by tissue. a tissue is a group of similar cells which perform a similar activity. tissues that are organized around a common function together make up an organ, the third level of complexity. the fourth level of organization is the system, formed by a group of organs which together perform a specific bodily process. the fifth and highest level is the organism level, in which body systems work together in a structure capable of independent life. main idea:
