Read the excerpt from Act II of The Importance of Being Earnest. Gwendolen. [Quite politely, rising.] My darling Cecily, I think there must be some slight error. Mr. Ernest Worthing is engaged to me. The announcement will appear in the Morning Post on Saturday at the latest.

How does the use of the understatement in the excerpt affect this part of the scene?

-It creates a more serious tone by mentioning that the engagement will appear in the newspaper.
-It makes it clear that Gwendolen is not extremely concerned with the current situation.
-It heightens how ridiculous it is that two women think they are engaged to the same man.
-It heightens Cecily’s outrage at Gwendolen for thinking she is engaged to Ernest Worthing.
