This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."
"Why weren't there any flowers?"
"Because the pigs had eaten them all," said the bachelor promptly. "The gardeners had told the Prince that you couldn't have pigs and flowers, so he decided to have pigs and no flowers."
There was a murmur of approval at the excellence of the Prince's decision; so many people would have decided the other way.
How does the characterization of the children create satire?
Answer:
The characterization of the children create satire because:
B. They are pleased to learn that the prince chooses pigs over flowers.
Explanation:
A satire exposes the difference between our beliefs and reality. In the short story "The Story-Teller", by Saki, the satire comes from the situational irony presented in the bachelor's story. The bachelor is traveling in a train wagon with three children and their aunt. The aunt tells them a story with the purpose of teaching them a moral lesson. To her disappointment, the children find the story boring.
The bachelor begins to tell a story himself. Unlike the predictable story told by the aunt, his story is filled with surprises and ironic incidents. Instead of teaching kids that they should be good, he teaches them that being too good may be an awful thing. <u>The children's characterization in the excerpt creates satire because they are pleased to learn the prince in the story chose to have pigs instead of flowers. Their reaction contradicts what society would expect of them. It goes against what the aunt - a representative of society - thinks is appropriate. They are not pleased by what is right or good - they are pleased by what is entertaining.</u>
The answer is A. The Russian revolution. The whole book is about it. Each of the animals represents an important person from that time.
Bravery, Cleverness, Confidence, Determination, Loyalty, and Strength. So all except Patience but I don't know what part of the book you are at.
I don’t understand what this question is asking but the answer could be c that’s the best guessing answer
b)It is to persuade people to join the gym.
The text begins with a description of the different things that the gym has to offer. It then goes on to specifically address the audience by using the word "you" and listing the hours that the gym is open for the audience's convenience. The text then discusses why the new gym is better than other gyms and continues to list the features that it thinks will be appealing to the people. The text ends with an incentive for people to join the gym before the end of the month. While there are details about a gym, the reason behind those details is to persuade people to sign up. The text does not give specific instructions about how to sign up or why exercise is important.
