Solution

Answer

The answer is impatient.

Explanation
Option 1: Arrogant

Jack's statement does not exhibit arrogance. Arrogance would involve a sense of superiority or condescension, which is not evident in his words.

Option 2: Mannerly

While Jack does use polite language ("Oh! pray excuse me, Lady Bracknell"), the overall context of his interruption suggests a different motivation. His politeness does not necessarily indicate that he is mannerly in this situation.

Option 3: Religious

There is no indication in Jack's statement that he is motivated by religious beliefs or that his comment is related to religion.

Option 4: Impatient

Jack's interruption of Lady Bracknell to provide information about Miss Cardew's legal age suggests impatience. He is eager to convey this important detail, which leads him to interrupt the conversation. This behavior aligns with the characteristic of impatience.
