Question 1 • PMHS English II Q2

What does the word facetious mean?

Answer
A
talking to friends in a mean way
B
sarcastic and cleverly amusing
C
people who deal with one another

Explanation

Facetious means joking or treating something serious in a humorous way, often with clever or sarcastic humor. So “sarcastic and cleverly amusing” is the closest match. Talking to friends in a mean way describes unkindness, while “people who deal with one another” does not describe a style of humor.
