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.

<span>Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 to October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, critic and editor best known for evocative short stories and poems that captured the imagination and interest of readers around the world.

Why is western mexico subject to volcanic eruptions?
disa [49]
Because of the ring of fire, that produces "the phenomenon of subduction" is the name given to this movement of the continental plates. The center of the Pacific is where the tectonic plates are born and it is at the edge of the continents where these earthquakes are felt because one gets under another . Subduction produces two things: seismic and volcanic activity. Almost 90% of earthquakes and volcano eruptions occurring in the world occur in the Pacific Ring of Fire. This phenomenon is caused by the violent release of energy that unties the friction of tectonic plates. In the case of Mexico, there are up to three plates that coincide (the Caribbean, the Cocos and the North American).
