Answer 2

Answer :

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'sarcastic' as 'using remarks that clearly mean the opposite of what you say, in order to hurt someone's feelings or to humorously criticize something.'

The following sentences from “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe reflect the narrator’s sarcastic view of his attendants :

'There were no attendants at home; they had absconded to make merry in honour of the time.  I had told them that I should not return until the morning and had given them explicit orders not to stir from the house. These orders were sufficient, I well knew, to insure their immediate disappearance, one and all, as soon as my back was turned.'
