There are two main reasons why the police officer decided to shoot the elephant in "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell. However, weakness is not one of these.

The first reason for the police officer to shoot the elephant was because of his sense of duty. He knows that this is the job he is expected to perform, and although he is upset about it, he wants to fulfill his duty.

The second reason is that the police officer was worried about showing compassion in front of the Burmese. He argues that the British empire must appear strong and decisive in front of the people they have colonized. Therefore, he does not want the locals to see any hesitation on his part.

Answer: The line in this excerpt from The Still Alarm by George S. Kaufman that demonstrates the use of understatement is - FIRST FIREMAN (feels the wall): <u>"It's pretty bad right now. "</u>

Explanation:

<em>The Still Alarm </em>is a play, written by George S. Kaufman. In the play, Kaufman uses understatements to mock the British for their calmness, which is present even in quite stressful situations that would normally create panic.

An understatement is the presentation of something as being less important than it actually is. They are often used to create a humorous situation. The fire is strong enough to destroy the wall, but the fireman only states 'it's pretty bad." This is an example of an understatement - instead of describing fire as quite dangerous or horrible, he uses this weak description.
