KjSaif · Answer

So with A and C being the only options left, what do feel like leaning more towards?

KjSaif · Answer

Think about it, Irony is still commonly used. Could you say the same for Parallelism?

Florisalreadytaken · Answer

Nowadays, satirists most commonly use this form of humor to expose political missteps or social inadequacies in everyday life, sometimes with the goal of inspiring change. I feel like ironic is the right answer but i might be wrong.
