Answer:

The children's aunt offers to tell them a story because:

A. She wants to entertain the children to keep them quiet.

Explanation:

In the short story "The Story-Teller" by Saki, an aunt is onboard a train with her two nieces and a nephew. In the same carriage is an "unsympathetic" bachelor - or at least, that is how the aunt sees him. <u>The children are restless, constantly asking questions, moving around, smacking the cushions of the seats, and even reciting poems. When the bachelor seems to be getting angry, the aunt decides to entertain the children with a story, as a way to keep them quiet and prevent the bachelor from complaining. </u>However, her story is filled with flaws. Even its attempt to teach the children a lesson about being good and well-behaved fails. The bachelor than intervenes and ends up telling them a much better story.

<h2>(HERE IS THE SUMMARY)</h2>

In Capulet’s house, Juliet longs for night to fall so that Romeo will come to her “untalked of and unseen” (3.2.7). Suddenly the Nurse rushes in with news of the fight between Romeo and Tybalt. But the Nurse is so distraught, she stumbles over the words, making it sound as if Romeo is dead. Juliet assumes Romeo has killed himself, and she resigns to die herself. The Nurse then begins to moan about Tybalt’s death, and Juliet briefly fears that both Romeo and Tybalt are dead. When the story is at last straight and Juliet understands that Romeo has killed Tybalt and been sentenced to exile, she curses nature that it should put “the spirit of a fiend” in Romeo’s “sweet flesh” (3.2.81–82). The Nurse echoes Juliet and curses Romeo’s name, but Juliet denounces her for criticizing her husband, and adds that she regrets faulting him herself. Juliet claims that Romeo’s banishment is worse than ten thousand slain Tybalts. She laments that she will die without a wedding night, a maiden-widow. The Nurse assures her, however, that she knows where Romeo is hiding, and will see to it that Romeo comes to her for their wedding night. Juliet gives the Nurse a ring to give to Romeo as a token of her love.

quindlen uses rhetorical questions to make the idea doing nothing sound more appealing than the usual summertime activities
Alona [7]

It should be noted that the rhetorical strategies that were used by Quindlen include anaphora and antimetabole.

<h3>What is a rhetorical strategy?</h3>

Your information is incomplete. Therefore, an overview will be given. A rhetorical strategy simply means the literary device that can be used to convey a particular meaning in a literary work.

It should be noted that Quindlen typically uses anaphora and antimetabole. This is used in creating parallelism in the speech.

This helped in creating a flow to the speech and then brings the piece together as a whole.
