Answer:

C. Its Context.

Explanation:

Before reading or analyzing a written piece of literary work, it is vital to have the background knowledge or the context in mind as it would give a fair idea about the historical setting in which the text is set in and the reasons behind certain actions by different characters throughout the course of the story. Literature is termed as the mirror of the society, thus, it always reflects the society and the happenings of the time it is written in. For example, if we are reading the "Hard Times" of Charles Dickens, we need to have a fair idea about the industrial revolution and its setting as then only we would be able to get the essence of the novel and purpose of writing it. Contextual knowledge would not only help to understand and analyze the text better but also to relate it to the present time and form a perception before applying it to any particular literary theory.

I need help figuring out an exaggeration, loaded language, and parallelism
Sonja [21]
Exaggeration is the action of making statements that represent something as better or worse than it really is. so you would use this by saying that people exaggerate by making someone's name seem way worse than it actually is.

Loaded language or loaded words and phrases have strong emotional implications and involve strongly positive or negative reactions beyond their literal meaning. so you would use that bye people making fun of someone's names could strongly impact a person's life negatively.
