Hi there!

The answer you are looking for is: The use of satire makes readers realize that Tom is foolish because he doesn’t fear the devil.

I hope that this statement is between your options.

In pieces of literature, performing arts or dances, satire is a genre that is used to ridicule or shame someone through wittiness and in form of humour.

If Tom did something satirical to the person-receiver the reader would interpret Tom as hilarious or witty, but also the reader may imply that Tom was being rude and immature or somehow insensitive.

Hope this helps!
