Brilliantly parodying the traditional family sitcom neighborhood, The Simpsons' town of Springfield ______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question suggests that the parody of The Simpsons' town of Springfield is aimed at the traditional family sitcom neighborhood. Therefore, it does not have a metaphorical representation of Washington, D.C., politics (A). Rather, it satirizes and challenges the American Dream, as evidenced by the dysfunctional family dynamics and the satire of consumerism and capitalism. It also challenges the ideas of the normal "nuclear family" by presenting a wide range of family structures and unconventional characters. It does not forgo progressivism (D) but rather embraces it by presenting diverse representations of race, class, and gender.
