Answer:

to make fun of her work

Explanation:

Carson was a native of rural Pennsylvania and a lover of nature. She also publishes well-researched books and magazines. In 1958, Carson decided to rekindle her interest in writing a book regarding the dangers of "DDT" (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane), the most powerful pesticide considered in the world. It was violent because it didn't only kill one kind of pesticide but multiples of it in one go. She wrote about the issue in her book entitled, "Silent Spring."

Many prominent scientists contradicted her book that it, eventually was banned later on. Nevertheless, this raised awareness to people regarding the preservation of the wilderness. One of her opponents was "Monsanto" (a pesticide giant) which wrote a parody of Carson's book in a brochure entitled, "The Desolate Year." The brochure was meant to make fun of her work. It even mentioned that because chemical insecticides will be banned, the world will be devastated with insects and diseases. Part of the writing also questioned her sanity.

Thus, this explains the answer.
