    C. a colloquialism of the time.

    Explanation:

    According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

    A. a local furniture shop.

    B. the best craftsman in Oxford.

    C. a colloquialism of the time.

    D. a biblical allusion.

    E. an acquaintance of Vivian and Cyril.

    This question refers to the text "The Decay of Lying" by Oscar Wilde. In this text, we meet Vivian and Cyril. These two characters engage in a debate about the benefits of civilization. Vivian spouses ideas about nature that were opposed to the Romantic view of nature that was common during this time period. Therefore, she argues that civilization is a great improvement over nature. She explains this by saying that even "Morris's poorest workman" is better than nature. This is an example of a colloquialism of the time.
