The answer to this question is hidden within the question
itself. How so? Well, first we need to be aware of what
satire is. What is satire? Satire is when an author pokes fun of (almost
mockingly) the element of a government that the author deems a flaw, failure,
or weakness. It doesn’t necessarily need
to be humorous because humor is subjective, and so for every 10 people who find
something funny, there are 10 other people who find the same thing not
funny. As such, satire is best determined
to be scorn. That said, because we know
satire is scorn for the government, the question is almost self answering in
that satire exists within “Top of the Food Chain” because of how he scorns the
government.
The correct answer is predicate adjective.
A predicate adjective is the first adjective found after a linking verb (used to link, or connect two parts of a sentence). In the sentence above, the linking verb is <em>seemed </em>and the first (and the only) adjective after it is the word rapid.
There are no objects in the sentence so B and D are incorrect, and given that rapid is an adjective rather than a noun, A is also incorrect.
