The blank refers to what version of the world… Shi-yu’s art… creates. The clue for the blank is exaggerating, so recycle “an exaggeration” as a phrase for the blank. Choice (B) can be eliminated because it does not match “an exaggeration.” Choice (D), a sublimation, which means an improvement, and (A), a mockery, can be eliminated because the exaggeration is of both beauty and also meanness and pettiness, so neither extreme matches “an exaggeration.” Choice (E), an allegory, means a symbolic representation, which may be tempting, but does not match “an exaggeration” and can be eliminated. The correct answer is (C), a caricature.
