The answer is: A. Through his constant questions.

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.

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.

Please help!! Identify each characteristic as common to either modern theater or Elizabethan theater.
Drupady [299]

In Elizabethan theater, the lighting was natural, adding only candles or torches, as most of the plays were performed during the day or afternoon. In modern theater, lighting is artificial and carefully planned to establish mood, control the audience´s focus of attention and enhance the meaning of the play.

While In Elizabethan theater plays were performed in courtyards, Inn-yards, playhouses, and amphitheaters where actors had to rely on the power of their voices to reach the audience, in modern theater microphones can be used to help the audience hear the actors during a play.

While In Elizabethan theater crowds could cheer and boo actors during the performance, as the theater was designed for the actor to speak with and directly to the audience, in the modern theater the crowd maintains silence during the performance and the actors do not speak nor acknowledge the audience.

In modern theatre, the most expensive seats are in front of the stage, in opposition to Elizabethan theatre where the cheap seats were in the front and the expensive seats were above and behind the players.
