Read the lines from the play the importance of being earnest.

lady bracknell. … i have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing. which do you know?

jack. [after some hesitation.] i know nothing, lady bracknell.

lady bracknell. i am to hear it. i do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. the whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. fortunately in england, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. if it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in grosvenor square.

which response most clearly explains lady bracknell’s perspective on the relationship between the upper class and the rest of english society?

the importance of being earnest

(a) the civically engaged upper-class english have a duty to improve the education system so that the majority of english citizens are well-educated.
(b) the majority of english citizens have utilized peaceful protests and nonviolent resistance to campaign against the upper classes for better education.
(c) england is so unequal that if the education system were more effective, the majority of english society would revolt against the upper classes.
(d) the majority of english citizens are too engaged in serious intellectual matters to bother physically fighting against the upper classes.
