Question

Harsh words intended to hurt someone

a. sarcasm
b. paradox
c. satire
d. ballad

Answer 1

I would have chosen c) Satire as it twists somebody's words to make them sound unintelligent, incorrect or just to criticize them, which may be hurtful.

but if you feel my answer is incorrect, you can choose as the commenter above of a) Sarcasm.

Answer 2

I would go with Sarcasm as the answer because in general sarcasm is meant to tear people down. Hopefully this helps and good luck!!!
