What is satirized in this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note"? I was pretty nervous, in fact, pretty badly frig

htened, though, of course, I was no way in fault; but I knew men well enough to know that when they find they've given a tramp a million-pound bill when they thought it was a one-pounder, they are in a frantic rage against him instead of quarreling with their own near-sightedness, as they ought. A. the carelessness and short-tempered nature of British folks B. people's willingness to pick quarrels over small matters C. the lack of trust and respect Englishmen had for Americans D. the nature of people to blame others for their own mistakes or shortcomings E. the inability of people to trust others in matters involving money

Answer: D. the nature of people to blame others for their own mistakes or shortcomings.

In the given excerpt from "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" by Mark Twain, we can see an example of satire in order to criticize how people blame others for their own mistakes, this is shown in the tramp's fear to go to the bank, because he thought that they would blame him for the mistake they made.

parallelism to create rhythm
