I would say the last sentence shows mockery the best: "Many a singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven amid execration and abuse from the platform." However, there might be others as well, such as: "The low note was a grunting, a rumble, the deep discordant growling of an ill-conditioned dog."

This writing is a work of historical fiction. It is set during Greek times, and it is centered on mytho policies.

There are several excerpts in this piece that show it has a mockery tone, some, more than others.

  • " Many  singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven amidst excretion and abuse from the platform? "
  • " The low note was grunting, a rumble, the deep discordant growling of an ill-conditioned dog.

Answer : second and third ones are correct
Explanation : The central idea of the chapter “Where I Lived, and What I Lived for” in Walden is that one gets closer to a truly vital and awakened life by living simply. In this chapter, Thoreau discusses the reasons for which he decided to live in a cabin by Walden Pond and his hopes for what said experience might teach him.

How does literature mirror life?
castortr0y [4]
Literature, however, can be said to be the mirror of life, because it reflects and comments on aspects of things people encounter in their daily lives. Even futuristic novels such as The Hunger Games can reflect life, despite the fact that its world is alien to the modern human being.
