Algernon. I really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact.

A. Anxious Character

B. Descriptive Details

C. Factual Information

D. Witty Language

    In the passage, Wilde uses the "D. Witty Language" to achieve an aesthetic impact. The last sentence in the passage, "If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact" is similar to a joke's punchline. This punchline makes a different way of adding aesthetic value to the story, therefore, the witty language is the most suitable answer.
