In paragraph 2, the narrator establishes distance between himself and the accusers by using what literary technique?

1. Similes and Metaphors
2. Comic Exaggeration of the accusers
3. Extended Metaphors
4. Appeals to Ignorance
5. Genetic Fallacy

By making the accusers' actions seem plausible, even logical, the narrator provides insight with which no rational human being could identify. He exaggerates the "importance" of the work they're doing and makes them look worse than if he'd taken a direct stance against them.
