B . Bierce uses a cynical tone to ridicule human behavior and
society
Explanation:
Ambrose Bierce´s The Devil's Dictionary, which started in a weekly paper in 1881, was a satirical glossary with funny and satirical commentaries written over three decades as a series of installments for magazines and newspapers. Later, his clever comments were plagiarized for many years before he published them in The Cynic's Word Book in 1906 and later in The Devil's Dictionary in 1911.
