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>.

Answer:
- The First Witch provides a few example's of what she can do to a man - "drain him dry as hay" (line 18) or make him never sleep as in "Sleep shall neither night nor day / Hang upon his penthouse lid" (lines 19-20). The 'penthouse lid' is literally the upper eyelid, so the image is that 'sleep' can't 'hang' on the top eyelid to close it.
-
The witches' prophecy influences the actions of the characters, thus, causing them to do things they never before would have considered. In the case of Macbeth, an honorable and loyal soldier, we see the prophecy of becoming King opens him to dishonorable acts.... acts that multiply and become increasingly despicable. Rather than wait to see if the prophecies are in fact fated.... Macbeth helps them along and feels justified in doing so.
- This scene shows us that the witches do have some supernatural power, although we cannot know for certain just how much.
They tell Macbeth that he will be made the Thane of Cawdor, and this is not technically a prophecy because it has already happened: Duncan told Ross at the end of the prior scene to go and execute the Thane of Cawdor for treason, "And with his former title greet Macbeth" (1.2.76). Macbeth isn't aware that this has happened, however, and so when Ross approaches him to present him with his new title, it seems as though the Weird Sisters have foretold the future. It is possible that when they tell him that he will be king, they aren't prophesying but rather telling him something to manipulate him: they might just want to see what he'll be willing to do in order to make this statement become reality. If so, then they perhaps have no real ability to foretell future events.
However, they do vanish (according to the stage direction just after line 81). Being able to disappear into thin air does seem to indicate that they have some supernatural ability, if not the one they claim to possess. At the beginning of the scene, they discuss a number of things which, if they can really do them, would also indicate their supernatural natures: sailing anywhere in a sieve, torturing a man by preventing him from sleeping for a long period of time, controlling the winds, and so on.
- The witches prediction for Banquo: line 67, his children will be kings.
- Prediction for Macbeth: lines 49 and 50, that he is the Thane of Cawdor and will be the king soon.
- Macbeth doesn't believe their prediction because, as he says, "The Thane of Cawdor lives" (line 72), and for the prediction that he will become king, that's just a crazy stretch to Macbeth - it "Stands not within the prospect of belief" (line 74).
