Which is a characteristic of a hoax?
A. It involves a big secret.
B. It gets the public's attention.
C. It causes hurt feelings.
D. It makes people laugh.
A hoax is just fooling people. A joke, a fraud. Something that isn't true. A deception. It can be humorous or make people feel bad, so it could be either C or D. I can't tell which it would be but it could be both.
