This sounds like satire to me. the speaker is, in a way, mocking those who disregard their own ignorance in situations to answer or quote something that they believe to be true, but is actually incorrect.

The correct answer is D) satire.

<em>The above quote is an example of satire.</em>

When we read the quote "…it is best one should quote what one doesn’t understand at all in the language one knows the least," we realize we are talking about satire.

This quote is from the great Voltaire. This quote appears in his book "Candice and Other Stories.," considered by the experts a classic satire novel. It was published in 1759. In the novel, Voltaire makes a parody of some elements of religion and politics. Voltaire (1694-1778),  was one of the most important French writers during the Enlightenment. So yes, when we read the quote "…it is best one should quote what one doesn’t understand at all in the language one knows the least," we realize we are talking about satire.

Almost all the respondents perceived themselves as the main birthplace decision-makers. Accessing a ‘specialist facility’ was the most important factor for the tertiary hospital group. The primary unit group identified several factors, including ‘closeness to home’, ‘ease of access’, the ‘atmosphere’ of the unit and avoidance of ‘unnecessary intervention’ as important. Both groups believed their chosen birthplace was the right and ‘safe’ place for them. The concept of ‘safety’ was integral and based on the participants’ differing perception of safety in childbirth.
