What type of literature is Gulliver's Travels?

  1. Epic

  2. Satire

  3. Novel

  4. Novella

The correct answer is: Satire

Gulliver's Travels falls under the broad category of satire. It is not an epic because it does not chronicle a heroic journey, like The Odyssey. While it is a novel, that is too general of a category. Novellas are typically shorter than novels, so that answer is incorrect as well.
