Answer 1

b. Juxtaposition

Step-by-step explanation:

Juxtaposition means placing two things side by side for the purpose of showing differences between them.

Juxtaposition in literature means placing two things, idea, places, characters or their actions are placed side by side in a narrative in order to show comparison and contrast.

Irony: It is literary device in which what appears or is said is contrary to what the audience expects or to what it should be.

Satire: In satire the vices, follies, wrong practices of a group, society, or a government is ridiculed for the purpose of shaming it so that the target of satire can improve itself.
