Answer:

1. Sarcasm

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarcasm is often used in an annoyed, angry, or mean spirited manner although it isn't limited to these emotions. It can be considered rude, but is used to express displeasure. Some people have a hard time picking up sarcasm and to others it comes naturally. Of course there are many different points of this spectrum of understanding that people experience.

A simile on the other hand is not a tone of voice that sarcasm is. A simile is a figure of speach or comparison sentence.

"a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g., as brave as a lion, crazy like a fox )."

A simile is similar to a metaphor except that it uses 'like' and 'as'.
