Answer:
A site which includes external links to reputable sources
Explanation:
A site with too little text may be trying to avoid the point, or perhaps they really don't know that much. A site with only a few sources listed may be unreliable since they could've just made up what they wrote with no evidence. A site with reputable sources would be the answer since a reputable source would not be indeed reputable without the validations of the people.
Among the fairy tales, the story that suggest an indirect cause is Jack who killed the giant because he sold the cow for magic beans. Before Jack killed the giant, the magic beans that he trade with his cow grew into an enormous beanstalk.
Question 1:
Humorous passage 1: "It (the umbrella) was made to be carried on the arm like an enormous ornamental bat and to allow one the opportunity to put on British airs as the atmospheric conditions demanded."
Humorous passage 2: "(The umbrella is) An item to be carried in the street, to be used to startle friends and—in the worst of cases—to fend off one’s creditors."
Question 2:
Passage 1 is funny because it compares the umbrella to an ornamental bat, which sounds weird in the first place. Plus, the umbrellas is said to be used by people who want to seem British, which is even more outrageously funny.
Passage 2 is funny because it treats the umbrella as a scary object which can be used even to fend off people you owe money to, which is absurd.
In both passages, the author uses tone and voice in a very witty way: he speaks seriously about absurdity, about unimaginable stuff. It is like an encyclopedia of weird and fun facts. That is what makes it funny: the contrast between a serious tone and larger than life images.
