Final answer:

Satire uses humor to critique human weaknesses and societal flaws through exaggeration and ridicule.


Explanation:

Satire is a form of humor that uses exaggeration or ridicule to expose human weaknesses or foolishness. It often involves mocking individuals, society, or institutions to convey a deeper message.

An example of satire is George Orwell's Animal Farm, where farm animals rebelling against human owners represent real events of the Russian Revolution, conveying a political lesson.

The Praise of Folly by Erasmus is another example of satirical writing where humor is used to criticize existing situations without necessarily offering solutions.
