Question

Figurative Language and tone 1. He makes my skin crawl . what tone is that??

Answer 1

It's an ironic sentence because the idiom "make my skin crawl" is figurative. If I was doing well in class, I'd call the tone ironic. If I wanted to play it safe, I'd call the tone disgusted. It could also be taken as referencing tone common to figurative language, which is ambiguous-depends on the figure of speech used. If you're asking what tone means as it's used, it means the manner in which a phrase is said-see paralanguage/nonvocal communication
