a) hyperbole
b) understatement
c) parody
d) melodrama

Answer 1

The answer would be C) Parody

Answer 2

Answer: Parody

We can assume that a work with this name is likely to be a parody, because of the allusion it makes to Gulliver's Travels. A parody is a caricature or a joke that is made of a work. It tends to imitate the work in a satiric or ironic way in order to make a statement on the subject, author, style or some other characteristic of the work.
