Before answering the question, it is convenient to mention that James Baldwin was a Black writer in the decade of the 50s and even though there were other Negro Writers in the literary world, they all suffered from racisms and social prosecution, the novel “Notes of a native Son” is close to an autobiography assembled from essays James Baldwin had written. In the novel the author intends to depict the hatred black people had to suffer at that time.
The figurative device that Baldwin uses to emphasize the rage buried beneath his father's outward appearance and actions is:
The paradox “vindictively polite.”
Here the word "vindictive" is expressing the inner rage that was beneath his father outward appearance, and the word "polite" expresses the overt emotions or actions.

Answer: C. Squealer's speech mocks the obvious lies of political propaganda.
A satire mocks or makes fun of different aspects of social behavior. Option C is the best option because it is the only one that actually follows the definition of making fun of an aspect of society. The political propaganda being spewed by Squealer shows how the politicians twist and turn things into lies to convince the public to take action for or against something.
