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".

Read this excerpt from Kinnell's poem "Vapor Trail Reflected in the Frog Pond":
Elis [28]

Answer:

d) The casualties in Vietnam

Explanation:

Kinnell doesn't set out to write a politically charged poem, but the connections he makes lead him in that direction, nonetheless. While living in a Vietnamese hamlet, the narrator of the poem Vapor Trail Reflected in the Frog Pond hears "America Singing," a song composed of the crunching of weapons and the buzz of a bomber jet. Thus, it contrasts conflict with tranquility by depicting a bomber against a tranquil background of the loss.
