The correct answer is (A).

One of the main resources the author uses to picture the scenery is humor,expressed as a hyperbole,exaggerating or understating something the reader knows is depicted from reality,in this case the obvious immorality of the local community shown as virtuous and distant from crime and evil practices.

Vonnegut uses satire to expose which societal folly?
alexandr1967 [171]
<span>One needs to look now farther than the first paragraph to realize that Vonnegut's tale is laced with irony and satire.  The strongest hint is when he mentions that there are over 100 ammendments in the Constitution.  All these ammendments are designed to make society "perfect."  Later on George and his wife Hazel are discussing how George's handicaps, the bags of birdshot tied to his legs, are terribly inconvenient and painful.  Hazel suggests George break a law and remove the bags since he isn't competing against anyone at home.  George replies that if he broke the law so would others and they'd end up right back in the "Dark Ages".  These examples depict there is no such thing as a perfect society.  Equality (in looks, strength, intelligence, etc.) does not bring about perfection and competition is essential for a thriving economy.  In every society there are winners and losers.  There is no way around that.</span>
