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. As a result, the Bachelor joins the conversation and tells them a story that does not involve a happy ending, which Aunt finds improper and the children amusing.</u></em>

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>

How does swift insert want he considers to be real solutions to Ireland's problem into his satire
Burka [1]
Even though Swift is not suggesting that the rich people in Ireland start eating the babies of the poor, he is still suggesting some realistic solutions. Most of all he is pointing out that the rich need to start doing something to balance out the economy and support the lower classes, instead of treating them like cattle. Comparing them to cattle by suggesting they eat babies points out this flaw of society and that it needs to be changed.

In what way are the scientific revolution and the Industrial Revolution
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

A. Discoveries during the scientific revolution allowed for the

Industrial Revolution to occur.

Explanation:

The early discoveries of the Scientific revolution were primarily about the solar system and the nature of matter. But these led to more scientific inquiry about forces (Descartes, Newton, Kepler) and development of formulae used to calculate and predict outcomes.

These came to be applied by the inventors at the start of the industrial revolution, especially in the development of the steam engine (Newcomen, Watt) which allowed for increased production of goods and faster travel over greater distances.

Which sentences in Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Contest" suggest that the author’s tone is mocking?
Setler79 [48]
<span>"Many a singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven amid execration and abuse from the platform." Is the sentence that really shows mockery the best. While the author was praising him for what he was doing in the beginning it ends with such a mocking tone it changes the way you look at the rest of the reading.</span>
