Answer:

D: Satire

Explanation:

Satire is a <u>literary resource</u>, which can be written in verse or prose. Its objective is the <u>criticism of the characters involved</u>, relieving their vices and defects with a playful, moralizing or brutally grotesque intention. In this text we can see it written in prose in the first person; the main characters shows feelings of <u>shame</u> and his antagonist is clearly taking the power for <u>making fun of him.</u> That is how we identified the satire:

"Neighbors <u><em>peered at us</em></u> as we walked by<em> </em><em><u>their eyes weighed us their eyes judged us</u></em> and at the peered we straightened our backs and lifted our chins in contempt we didn’t care what they thought."

In addition, understatement, parallelism and hyperbole are not found in the text:

Understatement: Uses denial to do something or someone less

Example: "He is not handsome" instead of "He is ugly"

Parallelism: Uses components in a sentence that are similar in its sound, meaning or construction.

Example: "The more you care, the more you have to lose."

Hyperbole: It is an exaggeration within the text.

Example: "It hurts so much, that I run out of air."
