Question

which of cyril’s actions does saki exaggerate in \the storyteller\ to create satire? select three options.
□ disobeying his aunt
□ asking questions about everything
□ talking back to his aunt
□ encouraging the bachelor to tell a story
□ commenting on the two stories he is told

Explanation:

In Saki's The Storyteller, Cyril's exaggerated actions drive the satire of rigid Edwardian-era etiquette and adult authority. His constant questioning of everything undermines the aunt's tedious, moralistic storytelling. His backtalk to his aunt directly mocks her ineffective attempts to control the children. His critical comments on the two stories highlight the absurdity of the aunt's conventional tales and the bachelor's subversive one, amplifying the story's satirical edge.

Answer:

• asking questions about everything
• talking back to his aunt
• commenting on the two stories he is told
