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.

Despite Farmer's tendency to ignore political events in the course of his work, how did Duvalier's and Aristide's regimes affect
Illusion [34]

Answer:

The regimes made Haiti a more dangerous place and made traveling in and out of the country very difficult. This made it very hard to do his job and help people.  The junta made it especially dangerous for him. At one point soldiers even stop his car and poin guns at his head until he says “Long live the Hatian army”. He got 10,000 dollars from John WHite to fund an underground pacifist resistance movement. His only protection is that his superior medical knowledge makes him too difficult to be killed. He ends up leaving Haiti and doesnt come back till Aristide is re-instated.
