Answer:
The correct answers are "magical realism" and "authorial reticence".
Explanation:
Magical realism is a style of fiction writing that takes aspects of the everyday world and adds magical elements as if they were ordinary. The concept of authorial reticence is related to magical realism, as it refers to the lack of an opinion about the accuracy and credibility of events such as the magical elements in a story. Therefore, the narrator accepting absurds as ordinary in "There’s a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" is known as magical realism or authorial reticence.
These lines taken from "The Snow Man" might be interpreted in these ways. One possibility is to have an objective view of the nature of a winter landscape without attributing any personal emotions to it. The other interpretarion is the assiciation of winter with misery, sadness and loneliness, the feelings that are related to the picture of the wind blowing with just a few leaves.

The
novel “Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, while often thought to
offer readers an accurate portrait of Igbo or African culture in
general, often does not effectively represent the culture it seeks to
portray. More generally, one of the challenges of the fiction genre, and
of the frequent criticisms lodged against it, is the manner in which
history, people, and place are integrated into the narrative. Writing a
fictive narrative that is based on real people, places, and events poses
some inherent dangers, not the least of which is the possibility of
inaccurate or partial representation of Igbo culture.
This is particularly true for novelists who are writing about
non-Western cultures for Western audiences. Such is the case in “Things
Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, in which the author writes about members
of a Nigerian tribe.
