<span>This collection of short stories, most of which take place in ordinary American settings, aptly demonstrates Jackson's penchant for suburban horror. As exemplified most clearly by "The Lottery," Jackson's vision of horror is not limited to haunted houses or exotic locations. On the contrary, horror is engendered in the mind, in the banal brutality of everyday individuals, who may be mothers, fathers, wives, and husbands. Unhappiness, sheer dissatisfaction with one's life, can lead to the blurring of reality and fantasy, and even madness. And in this madness, horror can come alive in the most mundane of settings and situations.</span>

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Parody.

Explanation:

A parody is a vulgar, exaggerated, or comic imitation of another work known to the public, through which the original work is ridiculed, even by small references to it. Broadly speaking, a parody is a sub-form of a satire: the story (the text or the image) is imitated in an ironic way. This can happen in a harmless as well as a corrosive way. The success of the parody will be greater the more famous the original and the parodied (magnified) elements are therefore more recognizable.

That I should have forgotten that the gate was bolted on the inside, on account of them dear children! Walk in sir; walk in, pray, Mr. Bumble, do, sir. "  This is satirical in the sense that Mrs, Mann called to Mr Bumble to come in, but the gate was locked.  In a way that we as readers could assume that Mrs. Mann wasn't keen in letting Mr. Bumble in. and she curtsied when she opened the gate.</span>
