1. To find the answer to the question, "George Bernard Shaw criticized the importance of being Earnest for not having real substance," you would need to analyze and understand George Bernard Shaw's opinions and criticisms of the play "The Importance of Being Earnest." Shaw was a renowned playwright and critic, so you can search for his reviews or essays on the play to find his specific criticisms. Reading his works or consulting scholarly articles about Shaw's opinions on "The Importance of Being Earnest" would give you a better understanding of why he criticized the play for lacking real substance.
2. To determine the missing word in the sentence, "He's incredibly _______; he just can't make up his mind about anything!" you need to find a word that means indecisive or having difficulty making decisions. The word "vacillating" means exactly that, so choice C is the correct answer.
3. To answer the question, "In 'The Importance of Being Earnest,' why doesn't Cecily want to study German?" you would need to analyze the context of the play and Cecily's character. The play was written by Oscar Wilde, so reading or watching the play would provide the necessary information. Within the story, Cecily's reason for not wanting to study German is stated as being afraid that it would make her face less pretty. Therefore, answer choice A is correct.
