Option D. The dialogue pokes fun at a society that takes marriage too lightly by having Gwendolen saying that her brother proposes to all her friends.
Explanation:
"The Importance of Being Earnest" is a play written by Oscar Wilde that was first published on February 14th, 1895. The play is a comedy that touches in an almost satirical way very important subjects of the Victorian society, the main one being marriage. Wilde makes the characters discuss marriage throughout the whole play, in lights of whether it is a pleasant or unpleasant disposition, but with most of them agreeing it is needed. In the dialogue of the question, the writer is poking fun at how the society takes marriage too lightly, by having Gwendolen saying that her brother proposes to all her friends, in order to practice his proposal speech. The message of the dialogue is to show how proposing and marriage itself had become just another thing that must be done in order to be taken seriously, but that is no longer deeply considered.
