Ответ:
a. Uses satire to ridicule the upper classes.
Satire is a genre of literature that highlights the vices and shortcomings of individuals, institutions or society itself in order to shame them and provide social criticism. In this excerpt, Pope is ridiculing the upper classes, by claiming that while heroes have big brains that are kept in heavy vases, the brains of the rich fit in tiny boxes.
