It is a incomplete question the complete question is

Which examples of situational irony does Saki use to

create satire? Select two options.

Bertha hopes that she will not be eaten by the wolf, but

she is.

The wolf comes to the park to eat pigs, but eats Bertha

instead.

Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."

"However, the scent of the myrtle was so strong that the

wolf could not sniff out where Bertha was hiding, and the

bushes were so thick that he might have hunted about in

them for a long time without catching sight of her, so he

thought he might as well go off and catch a little pig

instead. Bertha was trembling very much at having the

wolf prowling and sniffing so near her, and as she trembled

the medal for obedience clinked against the medals for

good conduct and punctuality. The wolf was just moving

away when he heard the sound of the medals clinking and

stopped to listen; they clinked again in a bush quite near

him. He dashed into the bush, his pale grey eyes gleaming

with ferocity and triumph, and dragged Bertha out and

devoured her to the last morsel. All that was left of her

were her shoes, bits of clothing, and the three medals for

goodness."

The children do not think that they are going to like the

story, but they do.

The aunt wants the bachelor to learn his lesson, but she

learns hers fystead.

Bertha thinks that it is good to win medals for goodness,

but the medals get her killed.

Mark this and return

Answer

The two options are “The aunt wants the bachelor to learn his lesson, but she learns hers instead” and “Bertha Think that it is good to win medals for goodness, but the metals get her killed”

Step-by-step explanation:

Satire applies on situational irony to express the difference between society's beliefs and reality. It creates gap between belief and reality by making characters unaware of their weaknesses.

It tells about the use of humor, irony, exaggeration to expose and criticize people's stupidity in the context of contemporary politics.

Thus, the two examples of situational irony does Saki use to create satire is “The aunt wants the bachelor to learn his lesson, but she learns hers instead” and “Bertha Think that it is good to win medals for goodness, but the metals get her killed”
