Answer:

syn·ec·do·che

Synecdoche is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase that refers to a part of something is substituted to stand in for the whole, or vice versa. For example, the phrase “all hands on deck” is a demand for all of the crew to help, yet the word “hands”—just a part of the crew—stands in for the whole crew.

Answer:

Now, something had been happening there a little before, which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards, but I will tell you about it now. Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything.

Explanation:

<em>Satire is the use of humor or irony in one's figure of speech in order to criticize the characteristics or to ridicule or expose a person's actions especially in political scenes.</em> Mark Twain, in his "The The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" tells of an occurrence-

<em>Now, something had been happening there a little before, which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards, but I will tell you about it now. Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything.</em>

This is a satire in that it criticizes and ridicules the efforts of the two brothers in settling their "<em>hot argument</em>' by betting, which according to him, "is the English way of settling everything".
