The correct answer is A: Through his constant questions.
<em><u>In "The Storyteller," by Saki (H. H. Munro), Cyril keeps irritating Aunt and making difficult questions during a train journey. She is so annoyed that she decides to tell the children an unoriginal story, which does not satisfy them.

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. <u>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.</u>
Idiom-a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words. (Ex. A piece of cake)
Onomatopoeia-the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named (Ex. Boom or crack)
Hyperbole-exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. (Ex.This guy escapes more times than Houdini)
I would say that this sentence is an hyperbole. This is because an idiom would be a form of figurative meaning that if different from the literal meaning. This is statement is bluntly advertised. There is no hidden meaning behind it. The word doesn’t resemble a sound either so it cannot be an onomatopoeia. I hope this helps
