Question

Angels comments in lines 60-61 ( Please . . . offense ) imply that

• A. Mrs. Deverell has inadequate housekeeping experience
• B. Many people enjoy the opportunity to perform household tasks
• C. Mrs. Deverell often hurts the feelings of others
• D. Domestic tasks are unsuitable for Mrs. Deverells new social status
• E. Mrs. Deverell is not a particularly efficient worker

Answer 1

The correct option is D Domestic tasks are unsuitable for Mrs. Deverells new social status

In the passage, Angel tells Mrs. Deverell that she should leave the household chores to "the people who should do it", that is, the servants. Angel says this because she thinks doing household chores is below her and Mrs. Deverell new, elevated status. Thus D is the best answer.
