Answer:

<em>Satire uses contempt and ridicule to make a critical or humorous statement about a human weakness or society in general.</em>

Explanation:

Satire is the literary genre that employs irony, humor, exaggeration or ridicule to criticize and reveal the vices, foolishness, and follies of an individual or society. The writer uses satire to force people to think, improve, and eventually overcome these vices. For example, Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" exemplifies the social satire where Chaucer criticizes every class of the people through his art of characterization(the greedy  Pardoner, the hypocritical Friar) especially those who professed Christianity for their hollow belief system and values. Thus, the description provided in the second option is true about satire.
