    saga : heroic

    epigram is by nature pithy or concise. Similarly, a sage is heroic

    well, i think C . an anecdote is usually humorous …

    saga is a length report not necessarily heroic ..

    Epigram by nature pithy (Shortly)
    Similarly
    Anecdote by nature humorous (shortly)

  18. priya says:

    saga is a narrative story abt a hero or its family
    so ans is b.
    anecdote is a small story nt necessary a humorous one.
