Answer:
Low degree.
Step-by-step explanation:
The picaresque novel is a form of fiction that explores the adventures of a rascal kind of character, often possessing also some endearing characteristics, that comes from a low social standing. This kind of genre became popularized in Cervantes´s Spain, and, although Cervantes himself did not write purely picaresque novels, one can identify many of the traits of this genre, the humor, the satire, and the comedy, in his famous Don Quixote, most notably in the person of Sancho Panza.
