The answer is D. metaphor

How does characterization support satire? Select three options.
garri49 [273]

The correct answer is:

  • <em>It makes fun of human weaknesses through humorous characters. </em>
  • <em>It exposes human flaws by exaggerating characters' weaknesses. </em>
  • <em>It ridicules socially acceptable behavior by showing how characters' good intentions backfire. </em>

Explanation:

<em>Characterization is the way information about a character is delivered to the audience</em>, while <em>satire is a technique used to expose and criticize</em> through humor, iron, sarcasm  and exaggeration. Characterization through satire helps the author show<u> the weaknesses, flaws and awkward behaviors</u> of a character in an entertaining way to the audience and change their perspective towards the character.

Okay, here’s what I’ll do for you. I’ll answer your questions in a few words, and I want you to make sure the answers are longer than the ones I give you. 1) This paragraph does not flow at all. 2) The rhythm is very choppy. 3) The most important ideas are when she moves to the West Coast because it gives more detail on her life. The least important is her childhood and how she is brought up because it hardly talks about it. 4) The ideas aren’t well connected because it just states facts and doesn’t expand on them. 5) The relationship is basically what ever happened next in her life, no detail. 6) I would add more detail and make the sentences less choppy. This should help you rewrite the paragraph.
