Read the passage from "The Storyteller."
The children moved listlessly towards the aunt's end of
the carriage. Evidently her reputation as a storyteller did
not rank high in their estimation.
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, and
made friends with every one on account of her
goodness, and was finally saved from a mad bull by a
number of rescuers who admired her moral character.
"Wouldn't they have saved her if she hadn't been good?"
demanded the bigger of the small girls. It was exactly the
question that the bachelor had wanted to ask.
"Well, yes," admitted the aunt lamely, "but I don't think
they would have run quite so fast to her help if they had
not liked her so much."
Which statement best explains the situational irony that
occurs in the passage?
The aunt expects the children to laugh at the story,
but they do not
The children expect their aunt to tell a funny story, but
she does not
O The children do not like the story, even though it is
very interesting.
The aunt tells a story with a moral, but the children
ignore the lesson.
