The answer is: He is mischievous to suit his purposes.

According to the excerpt from Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest," Jack explains how Algernon pretended to be his fake brother while he was not at home. In that respect, Jack disapproves of how Algernon also drank his special wine and used deception in order to have a chance to talk to Cecily.

He is mischievous to suit his purposes.

Explanation:

The text shows that Algernon is malicious and mischievous to serve his purposes. This is because the narrator said that Algernon takes advantage of the situation, enters his friend's house when he is not in the house and consumes the food of the house without authorization.

The excerpt from the text that makes this clear is: " ... This afternoon during my temporary absence in London on an important question of romance, he obtained admission to my house by means of the false pretence of being my brother. Under an assumed name he drank, I’ve just been informed by my butler, an entire pint bottle of my Perrier-Jouet, Brut, ’89; wine I was specially reserving for myself..."

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
