Explanation:

These lines are trying to state that triumphs and disasters should be treated similarly. The alliteration reinforces the fact that this should happen. To check, let's use the process of elimination.

A: This option is incorrect because these lines do not state specific similarities between triumphs and disasters.

B: This option is incorrect because these lines are not stating that triumphs and disasters are the same; rather, they are stating that they should be handled the same way.

D: This option is incorrect because these lines are not meant to emphasize the differences between triumphs and disasters, they are meant to do the opposite and explain why.

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.
