Unreliable narrators are startling because, generally readers expect the storyteller to be

a) the author
b) authoritative
c) intelligent
d) cautious

The correct answer is B. Authoritative

Explanation:

A reliable narrator is a type of narrator that cannot be trusted by the reader as the information the narrator provides is false or not completely true either because the narrator lies on purpose or because he/she is insane, naive or similar and therefore does not provide the reader accurate information. This type of narrator usually surprises readers because the reader always expects the voice, character or entity that tells the events in the story is trustworthy or authoritative but in the case of a reliable narrator the readers should try to identify which events can be believed and which ones are not accurate. Thus, unreliable narrators are startling because readers expect the storyteller to be authoritative.

the examples that saki used to represent satire through situational irony are options two (2) and five (5) inasmuch as the wolf thought that looking for a girl in the bushes could be as easy as hunting little pigs at the park, but it took him so much time to find the girl if it had not been not for a silly mistake. also, bertha would have survived to the wolf's hunt if she had not won those medals for goodness, which at the end they were what got her killed by making noise, so winning medals of goodness was not so good achievement, after all.
