The answer is D and B, I am 100% sure they are correct
Answer:
Blame can put you in jail, take away your rights, deny you an afterlife, or <u>worse </u>- cause you to change your behavior.
Explanation:
The word <em>satire</em> refers to the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to criticize people or their ideas. For example, politicians have always been easy targets of satire.
In the last sentence, the word <em>worse</em><em> </em>stands out.
