Which of the following describes the purpose of satire? Select all that apply.
shame those acting foolishly or immorally
attack the reputations of popular people
flatter audiences or readers
caution audiences or readers about foolish or immoral behavior
I believe it would be to attack the reputations of popular people. Satire is normally used as ridicule, exaggeration, and more to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices. In a fair amount of cases with politics and other issues alike.
