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".

Which theme is best reflected in this excerpt from Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis?
vampirchik [111]
<span>I believe the correct answer is A. isolation. In this story, Gregor has transformed into a cockroach, and apparently, somebody tried to squash him because we can see that he is hurt. However, he still feels the urge to be near his family, which is why he listens to their conversations every night and wants to be near them, even though he knows they can't see him or he will die. This only emphasizes his isolation and loneliness because he has nobody to help him.</span>
