writing?

a. by laying out arguments for what he believes in

b. by making fun of certain ideas and beliefs

c. by evoking dark emotions in his readers

d. by showing how evil certain institutions are

Explanation:

Mark Twain was known for his satirical approach in writing. Satire often involves humorously mocking or ridiculing ideas, beliefs, or social norms to urge for change. Option A is more like an argumentative approach, not typical of his fictional satire. Option C (evoking dark emotions) and D (showing institutions as evil) are not the primary way he urged social change; his satire made fun of ideas/beliefs to highlight flaws and push for change.

Answer:

B. By making fun of certain ideas and beliefs
