The term invective refers to

  • A.the abusive writing or speech in which there is harsh denunciation of some person or thing.
  • B.an insulting writing attack upon a real person, in verse or prose, usually involving caricature and ridicule.
  • C.a written or spoken text in which an apparently straightforward statement or event is undermined in its context so as to give it a very different significance.
  • D.the chanting or reciting of words deemed to have magical power.

Answer: A

Invective is abusive writing or speech in which there is harsh denunciation of a person or thing; a vehement verbal attack. The second option describes a lampoon (a personal satirical attack in verse or prose with caricature), the third describes irony, in which a statement is undermined by its context, and the fourth describes an incantation (chanting of words believed to have magical power). The answer is the abusive writing or speech with harsh denunciation. Invective is often found in satire and pamphlets, as in Swift's attacks or in Junius's letters, where the aim is to denounce, not to amuse.
