What type of literature is most often used to criticize a political or social system?

  1. Narrative

  2. Parable

  3. Epic

  4. Satire

The correct answer is: Satire

Satire is a type of literature that uses humor, irony or exaggeration to expose and criticize political or social issues in a way that is often seen as humorous or sarcastic. Narrative, parable, and epic are different types of storytelling that may touch on social or political themes, but they do not necessarily aim to criticize these systems.
