This question is based on General Literary Principles.

Mock-heroic poetry elevates

Answer Details
Mock-heroic poetry is a genre that uses a style similar to classical epic poetry to treat trivial or mundane subject matter in an exaggerated, grandiose or ridiculous manner. Therefore, it elevates trivial subject-matter by using the style of the classical epic, and often employs irony and humor to highlight the contrast between the subject and its grandiose treatment.
