    The correct answer is Satire. The literary device principally exposes vice, in his statement "The government was a criminal organization that stole from its subjects, and the subjects for their part were only interested in defrauding the government. Thus life went on smoothly, nobody was rich and nobody was poor."'we can see how people and government are dishonest.

    The other options are not correct because they have different functions, Metaphor is the comparison of similitudes between two things. Allusion makes reference to something that is known by people ahead. And Irony show the difference between was is expected as the ideal situation and the reality.
