The correct answer is A. The author uses humor to make a serious or controversial point in a nonthreatening way.

Explanation:

In writing, humor and satire are common literary devices used by authors to create a social critic about controversial issues or practices that occur in general society or specific areas such as government or church. This means by using humor and satire author can criticize negative aspects but avoiding being too aggressive or threatened as this can lead to negative critics or consequences for the author, for example, in satire it is common author use exaggeration to depict practices and ideas that are absurd but without directly stating a critic. Thus, the reason an author would use humor/satire in a text is to make a serious or controversial point in a non-threatening way.

erik [133]

The correct answer is True.

Explanation

Rosa Parks was an African-American activist who was noted for denying the bus seat in which she was sitting to a white man. This fact allowed the African American and civil rights movements of the United States to gain strength against racial segregation laws and to establish more equal laws for all without any distinction. This attitude of Rosa Parks during this episode demonstrates a creative mentality because at that time she was obliged by law to give up her chair, however, she saw it as an opportunity not to give it up to set a precedent for the civil rights of African Americans in the United States. According to the above, the correct answer is True, because Rosa Parks acted differently than she would be expected to act in a difficult situation.
