Answer: This statement is true.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the word satire comes from the Latin <em>satŭra</em>, which refers to a literary composition, in prose or verse, that is accompanied by a dance, and also to a dish featuring many food items. Likewise, it also derives from the Latin adjective<em> satur, -a, -um</em>, which<em> </em>can be translated as "abundant" or "full." Finally, these Latin words were influenced by the Greek term <em>satyrikós</em>, which relates to satyrs, half-men and half-goat mythological creatures that lived in the countryside and were very lascivious. A satire, or a satirical tone in a text or a speech, is indeed aimed at vilifying and ridiculing someone or something.

stira [4]

Answer:

Read Exp:

Explanation:

(I'll use arresting and convicting someone for a crime they didn't commit and putting them in prison then finding the real crook.)

So if they were to admit that they arrested the wrong guy the public would be outraged as well as the department would be looked down on and they could possibly even be sued. Their reputation as justice seekers would be ruined practically. Some ways they fix this is compensate the people with money for getting it wrong.

Hope this explains it well enough.
