Well, let’s try and have a fine time.” “all right. i was trying. i said the mountains looked like white elephants. wasn’t that bright? ” in the passage above, which meaning of the word bright is used? filled with light, cheerful, intelligent, glorious

Intelligent, Wasn't that bright is sarcasm, like, Wow that was smart (aka stupid)

MAY BE WRONG, ALSO LEARNING MYSELF

Cheerful

Explanation:

We can infer that the meaning of the word "bright" in this context is "cheerful" because the speaker begins by expressing their wish of having a fine time (a good or quality time), and continues by making a peculiar and, perhaps dreamy, comparison (the mountains to the white elephants). Thus, when the speaker mentions the word "bright", he or she refers to something enjoyable, radiant with happiness, cheerful.
