What is the title of the short story written by Washington Irving in 1820 that satirizes superstition and fanatical religious belief?

  1. "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"

  2. "The Devil and Tom Walker"

  3. "Rip Van Winkle"

  4. "The Lottery"

The correct answer is: "The Devil and Tom Walker"

"The Devil and Tom Walker" is the correct answer because it is a short story written by Washington Irving in 1820 that satirizes superstition and fanatical religious belief. "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle" are also short stories by Washington Irving, but they do not specifically satirize superstition and fanatical religious belief. "The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson, so it is not the correct answer.
