Answer:

The line that demonstrates the use of understatement is "It's pretty bad right now."

Explanation:

An understatement is the description or presentation of something as being less important than what it really is.

The fire is strong enough to destroy a wall. However, the fireman describes its intensity by saying it is "pretty bad". There is, thus, an understatement of the fire's destructiveness. We would expect him to describe it as being "very dangerous", "horrible", but not merely as "pretty bad".

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

1) No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.

2) There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us God.

Which of the following accurately describes the relationship between the theory of universal grammar and acquisition of a second
pishuonlain [190]

The sentence that accurately describes the relationship between the theory of Universal Grammar and the acquisition of a second language is "The theory of Universal Grammar  supports language acquisition because all languages share a similar structure." According to this theory, there are <u>universal principles</u>, shared by all languages, and <u>parameters</u> that can vary between languages. So, a second language learner has to set the values of a parameter. For example, the pro-drop parameter has two values, the pro-drop in the case of the Spanish language, in which a subject or object pronoun can be omitted, and the non-pro drop in the English language, in which the pronoun cannot be omitted.
