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>

Which reasons explain why a first person perspective may be biased
Colt1911 [192]
First person perspective is the perspective of one person, the protagonist, this means there is no perspective from other characters. This means that the protagonist is the only one telling the story. This character could lack experience and knowledge and therefore misunderstand a situation or have an opinion on a subject.
