Read this excerpt from “House Decoration” by Oscar Wilde: In these days, we hear ladies boast that they do not wear a dress more than once. In the old days, when dresses were decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery, ladies rather took a pride in bringing out the garment, wearing it many times, and handing it down to their daughters. This process would, I think, be quite appreciated by a modern husband when called upon to pay his wife’s bills. Which sentence correctly paraphrases and cites the excerpt? A. In the old days, when dresses were decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery, ladies rather took a pride in bringing out the garment, wearing it many times, and handing it down to their daughters (Wilde). B. Fashion was less expensive and more beautiful when women enjoyed wearing a few well-made dresses regularly rather than striving to wear a great variety of clothes (Wilde). C. Modern husbands who are called upon to pay their wives’ bills are not happy that their dresses are decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery (Wilde). D. It is better for women to have many dresses that they only wear once than for women to have a few dresses that they have to hand down to their daughters in order to save money (Wilde).
