Which statement most accurately describes how the language in the essay serves Gandhi’s purpose?

A. By using informal language, Gandhi creates a humorous tone, which shows his attitude toward the subject matter.

B. By using sarcasm, Gandhi attempts to poke fun at the railway’s attempt at providing services, which intensifies the mood.

C. By using hyperbole, Gandhi emphasizes the dire situation for third-class train passengers, which garners sympathy.

D. By using figures of speech Gandhi helps readers understand why he chose to ride in third class, which engages readers.

The point of Ghandi's description of the conditions in the third-class compartment on a train is to get the audience to sympathize with the readers. He over exaggerates slightly to make his point that third-class passengers suffer deplorable conditions. He does not use sarcasm or informal language to make his point. The railway is not really trying to provide any services other than transportation to the third-class passengers and Gandhi's choice to ride in third class is not to engage readers, but rather to make them aware of the conditions.
