Answer: The piece of writing that is an example of satire is A. A novel about children who take over a school to indirectly criticize the government's policies

Explanation: A satire is a literary device that consists in using humour and exaggeration to reveal and criticize certain ideas generally linked to politics and corruption. In that way, satire is mainly used to expose a society's flaws. Option A. is the correct option because it is the only one that presents a ridiculous situation (children taking over a school) to provide the readers with a radical political critique (the government's policies).
