Basically, sarcasm and irony are the same thing. They both mean the exact opposite of what they REALLY are saying. So what is the difference?
Irony can naturally occur in both language and circumstance; one experiences irony when something the exact opposite of what was was expected happens.
Sarcasm can make use of irony to make an observation or remark about an idea, person or situation. Sarcasm is generally used to express riducle or reservation of an expression or idea.

Answer:

1) Know the beliefs and attitudes of your audience to better communicate

Explanation:

In rhetorics, the speaker's or writer's goal is to affect their audience and get them to agree with their point of view. That's why it's extremely important for them to know their audience, including their beliefs and attitudes. In this case, the speaker/writer will try to make an ethical appeal (ethos) on the audience, trying to appeal to their social, religious, philosophical, ideological, and other values. There are two more types of appeal: logos (appeal to logic) and pathos (appeal to emotions).
