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.
Answer:
Dear Alice,
Hope you are in good health. I am writing this letter, not to ask anything from you but to tell you something really important. You must be thinking what is so important thing that I really wanted to share from you. We are friends since last 10 years and there is nothing that has been successful in creating misunderstanding between us. We have always stood for each other in every problem that has come our way. You have always told me truth about every issue and we have dealt with it our way. It is really great courage to always speak truth even in difficult situations. But since you always speak truth, I can never doubt you and believe in whatever you say. This has made our relation really strong. I wish our relation continues forever and our love for each other stays same till our last breathe.
Regards,
Jamie.
