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.
They both relate to personal experience and are both frequently told from 1st person perspective.
A narrative poem is one that tells a story. It follows a similar structure as that for a short story or novel. There is beginning, a middle, and an end, as well as the usual literary devices such as a character and a plot

The correct pronoun for this sentence would be to use he or she instead of him and her. To state things clearer, let's try to take out the word "either" and use he and she in the sentence. So doing that, we will have "he could help you" that makes more sense that "him could help you". Do the same for she and her.
