Question

Read this excerpt from a visit to europe:[s]he begged me to carry to jim the important intelligence that mrs. jones' fat pig obtained a prize at the smithfield agricultural show.which satirical element is mukharji most clearly using in this excerpt?

Answer 1

Sarcasm. Just took the test

Answer 2

Sarcasm

Step-by-step explanation:

The information to be delivered to Jim is that Mrs. Jone's pig received an award. Clearly, the speaker does not care about the information, as we can perceive when we see the choice of words ("fat pig" and "a prize". No specificity there shows that the speaker isn't familiar with it and doesn't care). So the word Important is there only to convey sarcasm.
