Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine which quotations convey a comic tone, we analyze each option:

  • "O my Best Beloved" is a formal or endearing address, not comic.
  • "He took the Elephant—All - the - Elephant - there - was—and said, 'Play at being an Elephant.'" uses a whimsical, exaggerated way of referring to the elephant (All - the - Elephant - there - was) and a childish instruction, creating humor.
  • "All - the - Cow - there - was... licked her tongue round a whole forest at a time." is absurd (a cow licking a whole forest) and uses an exaggerated, playful description, which is comic.
  • "The great Sea... overflowed all the dark forests for miles and miles, and flooded the Man's house." is a serious - sounding event description, not comic.
  • "By and by the Eldest Magician met the Man on the banks of the Perak river." is a straightforward narrative, not comic.

Answer:

B. He took the Elephant—All - the - Elephant - there - was—and said, "Play at being an Elephant." C. All - the - Cow - there - was... licked her tongue round a whole forest at a time.
