Question 7 • English Language Arts 11
Sarcasm uses mocking or ironic wording to criticize or make light of a situation. Calling the men’s unpleasant predicament a “picnic” is sarcastic, especially since they were tarred and feathered; the mention of their provisions makes the remark sound like a joke at their expense. The other quotes are direct statements or instructions rather than sarcastic remarks.
