Edward Buchanan · Answer 1

I believe that the correct answer is 3) mock-epic.

The "R-a-p-e of the Lock", written by Alexander Pope, is one of the most famous English-language examples of the mock-epic. The mock-epic (or mock-heroic) is satire or parody of mock common classical, serious works and epic had long been considered one of the most serious of literary forms. Pope’s mock-epic poem "R-a-p-e of the Lock" doesn’t to mock the form itself, but to mock his society in its very failure to rise to epic standards.
