( Paragraph 5) B "I get unreasonably angry with John sometimes. I’m sure I never used to be so sensitive."

Answer 1

Answer:

C: "He said we came here solely on my account, that I was to have perfect rest and all the air I could get."

Explanation:

Part A: "John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage."

The above statement proves that John is laughing at someone. The occasion is a wedding.

B: "I get unreasonably angry with John sometimes. I’m sure I never used to be so sensitive."

This cannot be the answer, because, the speaker talks negative about a situation. But in Part A, he understands that John laughing at him on that occasion is very much understandable.

C: "He said we came here solely on my account, that I was to have perfect rest and all the air I could get."

This is the answer because sarcasm and humor are included in the sentence.

D: "John is away all day, and even some nights when his cases are serious."

This is nowhere related to A.
