The underlying goal of satire is to get people to think. Satire is a literary technique that uses humor, irony, or exaggeration to critique or ridicule aspects of society, politics, or human behavior. Its purpose is not just to sell newspapers or shock people, but rather to prompt readers or viewers to reflect on the issues being satirized and to encourage critical thinking.

The goal of an opinion piece is to express the writer's viewpoint and persuade the reader. It is not necessarily required to be fair, accurate, or neutral. Therefore, the answer would be option B.
