Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller." The child moved reluctantly to the window. "Why are those sheep being driven out of tha

t field?” he asked. "I expect they are being driven to another field where there is more grass,” said the aunt weakly. "But there is lots of grass in that field,” protested the boy; "there’s nothing else but grass there. Aunt, there’s lots of grass in that field.” "Perhaps the grass in the other field is better,” suggested the aunt fatuously. "Why is it better?” came the swift, inevitable question. "Oh, look at those cows!” exclaimed the aunt. Nearly every field along the line had contained cows or bullocks, but she spoke as though she were drawing attention to a rarity. "Why is the grass in the other field better?” persisted Cyril. Which instances of situational irony occur in the passage? Select two options. The aunt expects the boy to look out the window, but he does not. The aunt expects the boy to look out the window, and he does. The aunt expects the boy to accept her explanations, but he does not. The aunt expects the boy to show interest in the sheep, and he does. The aunt expects the boy to be interested in the cows, but he is not.

The accurate responses are:

- The aunt anticipates that the boy will accept her reasoning, but he does not.

He continues to inquire about the sheep, questioning where they are going and why the other field is preferable.

-The aunt thinks the boy will show interest in the cows, yet he does not.

She tries to divert his attention toward the cows, but his focus remains on the sheep.

The article intended for the magazine should adopt a more formal and serious tone. Elementary school children often struggle to understand certain speech forms and maintain focus for long. Scientists, on the other hand, respond better to a serious and more complex style.

Completed this for Odyssey and received a perfect score.
