Jack convinces Lady Bracknell by revealing he inherited a large fortune.

Solución

The correct answer is D. by revealing that he has inherited a large fortune from his father. In Oscar Wilde’s play “The Importance of Being Earnest,” Lady Bracknell is primarily concerned with social status and wealth, and Jack’s revelation about his inheritance helps to convince her to agree to the marriage.

Jack cleverly convinces Lady Bracknell to agree to his marriage with Gwendolen by revealing that he has inherited a large fortune from his father, which shifts the balance in his favor. Wealth was a major ticket to acceptance in the Victorian society, and suddenly, his social status becomes much more appealing!
The twist in the tale comes when Jack agrees to change his name to Ernest—Lady Bracknell’s preference—in an effort to win her approval. This adds a layer of humor and irony, as it shows how superficial some values can be when it comes to matters of love and social standing!
