The right answer is "C. Love is often demonstrated though personal sacrifice".

The explanation for this answer is in the excerpt "... when the armed guards board the bus, the mother leaves her son sleeping in the arms of a friend and lets himself be arrested." That is, this mother loved her son so much that she sacrificed herself so that he had the chance to have a better life.

When she allows herself to be arrested by the guards, her son has a chance to escape because the guards are already busy.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

"She rattled on cheerfully about the shooting and the scarcity of birds, and the prospects for duck in the winter. To Framton it was all purely horrible."

Explanation:

From the book "The Open Window" by Saki, there is a narrative of Framton waiting for Mrs Sappleton and during his wait, he gets talking with her niece who informs him that there was a tragedy that happened.

She tells him that Mrs Sappleton's husband and two brothers went out for hunting but never came back but since the incident, Mrs Sappleton is still not over the shock and acts as if they would walk in anytime that's why she always leaves the window open till dusk, waiting for them.

This is an example of a situational irony because a situational irony is a type of irony in which the action has an opposite effect on what is intended.

Framton's discovery of the tragedy by the niece is an opposite of what he expected when he came looking for Mrs Sappleton.
