Ultimately, Cecil views his remark in line 34 (It . . . now) as.

• A. Singularly poetic
• B. Particularly memorable
• C. Embarrassingly inapt
• D. Excessively critical
• E. Regrettably underhanded

Answer 1

The correct option is C Embarrassingly inapt

After murmuring, "It has broken now", Cecil immediately realized that it was the most "conceited, ludicrous, contemptible way" of announcing an engagement, implying that it was the most inapt way of telling someone else of his engagement. Thus C is the best answer.
