Question 7 • English Language Arts 10

How does characterization support satire? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
It reveals a gap between belief and reality by making characters unaware of their weaknesses.
B
It exposes human flaws by exaggerating characters’ weaknesses.
C
It makes fun of human weaknesses through humorous characters.
D
It pokes fun at characters by placing them in extreme situations.
E
It ridicules socially acceptable behavior by showing how characters’ good intentions backfire.

Explanation

Satire uses characterization to reveal the difference between how characters see themselves and their actual weaknesses, especially when they are unaware of that gap. It can also exaggerate characters’ flaws and make those flaws amusing, exposing human weakness through humor. Placing characters in extreme situations focuses more on plot, while good intentions backfiring is not specifically a way characterization supports satire.
