Answer:
D). The passage fails to make a debatable claim.
Explanation:
The key weakness of the given passage is that 'it fails to establish a debatable claim.' A claim is characterized as debatable when the readers could reasonably argue on different opinions regarding it but here the 'claim regarding the presence of gothic elements' in Hawthorne's 'Scarlett Letter' and Herman Melville's 'Moby-D' is already agreed upon and accepted as a fact. Thus, <u>there remains no point in persuading the readers' to believe in it by comparing the two</u>. Another weakness of this passage is that the evidence presented here fails to support the claim. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

<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>
