Satire, during the Enlightenment period, served as a dramatic means of
criticizing what is happening in society like being hypocritical of
people in power, etc.. A satire is a literature full of wit that it
employs sarcasm and only those who are aware of what the satire is truly
about will understand the hidden message it is trying to convey. Other
simply accept it as a work of fiction and literature.
The most
famous writer that uses satire during the Enlightenment period was
Voltaire, a french philosopher. His most famous work was a comic novella
entitled Candide
The answer to your question would be the last answer, starting with "Darkness, greed, and corruption" Charles Dickens creates this sense of darkness by the words he uses to describe the scene, such as "foul, cesspools, bad repute".
The correct answer is A). As stated in the poem The Sun Has Long Been Set ''some men there are that find in nature all where beauty dwells not, driven forth by man'', this leads us to infer that the feeling the writer is trying to evoke is strongly related to healing, communion therefore soothing as well.
Hope this helps!
