    Question

    Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the highlighted group of words.
    Humour that describes the weaknesses of the other person is itself a crime among peer groups.

    A.

    A joke

    B.

    Attire

    C.

    Satire

    D.

    A curse

    Correct option is C

    The correct one-word substitute for the highlighted group of words is ‘satire’, which refers to humor or criticism that exposes flaws or weaknesses (व्यंग्य).
    · Satire is often used in literature or speech to highlight social or personal weaknesses through irony or sarcasm.
    Meanings of the other given options:
    · A joke: Something said to provoke laughter (मज़ाक). Too casual for the context.
    · Attire: Clothing or dress (पोशाक). Irrelevant.
    · A curse: A wish for harm or bad luck (शाप). Does not fit the meaning.
