Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."

English

Answer:

"The children moved listlessly towards the aunt's end of the carriage."

"In a low, confidential voice, interrupted at frequent intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably uninteresting story about a little girl who was good."

Explanation:

Situational irony occurs when the expected thing does not happen, or when the opposite result than what is presumed takes place. In the excerpt from "The Storyteller," by Hector Hugh Munro (Saki), when the aunt offers to tell the children a story, they do not expect it to be a good one. In fact, it is a boring account about an extremely good girl.

(MC) Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barro
lesya692 [45]
The author explicitly says that spirit can be found in the voice of a character. 
Explicitly means directly - so it means that the author didn't hide the fact that he knew what could be found in the voice.
Here is what he says:
<em>That is wholly appropriate, for in the breath—the voice—of a character lies its essential spirit.</em>
So the correct answer is definitely spirit.
