Which passage from Chapter 4 of Botchan uses sarcasm?

I was more or less uneasy until I found out what they were, but now I saw they were grasshoppers, they set me on the war path.

The fellows who like to borrow money but not pay it back, are surely such as these students here after they are graduated.

They looked defiant, and appeared to insist on their innocence as long as no evidence was brought up.

Students of law schools, weaklings as they are, have double the ability of ordinary persons when it comes to talking.

    Explanation:

    Sarcasm is simply using irony to mock or make jest of something/someone. The writer used sarcasm here to convey his thoughts and feelings about the ants. He used irony to talk about going to war with the ants when he clearly meant something else.

    He was trying to ridicule someone by declaring that he was uneasy at first before declaring all out war when he discovered he was dealing with ants.
