Answer:
It creates a sarcastic tone.
Explanation:
The definition of the word <em>balmy </em>is <em>characterized by pleasantly warm weather.</em> This word is used to describe the minus 20 degrees, which is horribly cold, but still not as cold as Alaska usually is. This combination of words creates a paradox - how can minus 20 degrees be balmy? It is not - the author is just being sarcastic. That's how the use of the word <em>balmy</em> creates a sarcastic tone.
It might be clearer to say: According to the dictionary, a squawk is not the same thing as a squeak. there's no need for them to be plural in your sentence and it's likely that, in the dictionary, they're listed as "squeak" and "squawk" singularly. when describing dictionary definitions it's best to use the form of the word that the dictionary uses for clarity.
