The answer is the second actor.
Good luck with the rest of Odysseyware
The correct answer is A.
H. H. Munro, also known by his pen name "Saki", was born in Burma but had to move to England after the sudden death of his mother.
His stories are usually a criticism and a satire of the Edwardian England in which he grew up.
In "The Storyteller" he satirizes society's values when it comes to raising and educating children. He uses the constant questions posed by Cyril to contribute to the satire of the story and to allude to the theme of questioning authority.
A would be correct. Think about it; plot contrivances are of the mistaken identity type, so they wouldn't help the mood. Historical accuracy wouldn't either, because its just who was where when. Anticlimax is basically a disappointing end to a story, and trust me, those definitely don't improve the mood. Appropriate comparison makes the most sense.
I hope this is right.
