Explanation:

Situational irony refers to a surprise in the outcome of events. It happens when we are led to believe something will take place, but something else that's completely different is the result. In literature, we can define situational irony as a plot twist where a character's intent or actions becomes twisted into its opposite.

Among the options provided, there are two that represent situational irony in Saki's "The Storyteller". First, there is the aunt's intent to teach the bachelor a lesson. She failed miserably at telling her nieces and nephew a story that was both entertaining and educative. Upon being criticized, she defies the bachelor, asking him to do a better job at telling the children a story. It turns out that he is successful. The children absolutely love his story. When the aunt criticizes the lack of moral lessons in it, the bachelor reveals he never intended to teach the kids anything. He just wanted them to be quiet for ten minutes.

Another situational irony is Bertha, the character in the bachelor's story, getting killed because of the medals. Bertha believed those medals were precious trophies of her goodness and impeccable behavior. They should, therefore, be a type of reward, something that would make her life better. However, their clanking noise is what attracts the wolf and gets her killed.

As we can see, both the aunt's and Bertha's intents were twisted into their opposite, characterizing situational irony.

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4
