B) it provides comic relief at a tense moment
The correct answer is:
- <em>It makes fun of human weaknesses through humorous characters. </em>
- <em>It exposes human flaws by exaggerating characters' weaknesses. </em>
- <em>It ridicules socially acceptable behavior by showing how characters' good intentions backfire. </em>
Explanation:
<em>Characterization is the way information about a character is delivered to the audience</em>, while <em>satire is a technique used to expose and criticize</em> through humor, iron, sarcasm and exaggeration. Characterization through satire helps the author show<u> the weaknesses, flaws and awkward behaviors</u> of a character in an entertaining way to the audience and change their perspective towards the character.
The first choice is correct, because the other two don't make sense. An action verb connects phrases into sentences, and your paragraphs should relate to each other!
