Answer:

I believe the examples that create satire through situational irony are:

D) The aunt wants the bachelor to learn his lesson, but she learns hers instead.

E) Bertha thinks that it is good to win medals for goodness, but the medals get her killed.

Explanation:

Situational irony refers to a surprise in the outcome of events. It happens when we are led to believe something will take place, but something else that's completely different is the result. In literature, we can define situational irony as a plot twist where a character's intent or actions becomes twisted into its opposite.

Among the options provided, there are two that represent situational irony in Saki's "The Storyteller". <u>First, there is the aunt's intent to teach the bachelor a lesson. She failed miserably at telling her nieces and nephew a story that was both entertaining and educative. Upon being criticized, she defies the bachelor, asking him to do a better job at telling the children a story. It turns out that he is successful. The children absolutely love his story. When the aunt criticizes the lack of moral lessons in it, the bachelor reveals he never intended to teach the kids anything. He just wanted them to be quiet for ten minutes.</u>

<u>Another situational irony is Bertha, the character in the bachelor's story, getting killed because of the medals. Bertha believed those medals were precious trophies of her goodness and impeccable behavior. They should, therefore, be a type of reward, something that would make her life better. However, their clanking noise is what attracts the wolf and gets her killed.</u>

As we can see, both the aunt's and Bertha's intents were twisted into their opposite, characterizing situational irony.

Answer:

I would ask the child if he had anything in mind to make more plans and suggest that he helps make plans for the meetings or offer him a leadership potion so he can help make the plans and schedule new and exciting things for the group to do but i would keep the others in mind by restricting somethings that not everyone wants to do and then explain to him why we cant do what he's pitching to the group.
