The chaos that follows when the fox captures Chanticleer seems to emulate what writing style? epic

fabliau

mock-heroic

The correct answer is mock-heroic.

We know this because the author is taking something common, like animals chasing one another, are discussed in the same style as something heroic would be. This is a form of satire, that the taking of Chanticleer would be compared to the acts found in great epics.
