Answer:
In lines 10–11 the speaker is referring to the importance of interpreting what is being read. On lines 20–21, the speaker shows that reading interpretation promotes knowledge and that knowledge is often a handicap for the soul.
Explanation:
In lines 10–11 the speaker is referring to the need that people have to interpret and understand what is being read, this is because if a person just reads, he is stuck with earthly life, he is limited to an environment, contained. However, the interpretation of reading makes the individual see beyond words and let go of this limitation.
However, once the reading has been interpreted, the individual gains knowledge, becomes detached from ignorance and is able to see things he did not see before. The problem is that this is often a disadvantage, showing that ignorance was a paradise, which was lost with the arrival of knowledge. This can be seen on lines 20–21.

Answer:
Disobeying his aunt
.
Asking questions about everything
.
Commenting on the two stories he is told.
Explanation:
Satire is a literary tool that writers use to provide humor, and even at times a 'truth-behind-the scene' comment which may be what the writer wants to expose but didn't want to admit directly. It becomes a tool for the writer to express the things that may seem hard to address.
In H. H. Munro's short story "The Storyteller", Cyril is the small boy traveling with his aunt and two sisters. And through this young character, the author uses the tool of satire to bring into focus some of the themes he wants to express or bring to light himself. And by exaggerating the character of Cyril, he allows the readers to get a sense of what the aunt is like. Cyril becomes the tool through which some issues were raised, when he disobeyed his aunt when he is told not to smack the cushion, asks numerous questions unnecessarily, and even commenting on both the stories that were told to him. He even openly proclaimed <em>"It is the only beautiful story I have ever heard"</em>, indirectly commenting on the story-telling ability of his aunt.
Thus, the <u>correct answers are the first, second, and last options</u>.
