Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that children as young as 4 or 5 can understand sarcasm if it is delivered with exaggerated tone and facial expressions, but they may not understand more subtle forms of sarcasm. Therefore, it is likely that 15-year-old Emily and 25-year-old Stephen, who have more developed language comprehension skills, will realize that sarcasm is intended. However, it is less likely that 9-year-old Stuart and 4-year-old Rachel will understand the sarcasm.
