Answer:

Understatement

Explanation:

Understatement is a figure of speech that describes a situation as less important or serious than it really is. It is often used to be more polite, or for ironic or humorous effects.

The passage uses this figure of speech because the speaker is deliberately trying to convey that his desire for someone to do something is not strong, however, in reality, the repetition and the emphasis they put on these ideas are proof that the speaker does care, and would like the other person to do what he says he does not want to.

How is Mildred spending her afternoon and evening?
KengaRu [80]

Answer: Mildred spends the majority of her day watching her parlor walls.

Explanation:

Mildred lives a wretched existence in her everyday life by acting obsessed with soap operas that are televised on her wall-sized TV screens. Mildred's unimportant life is entirely absorbed by senseless entertainment, plus she is intrigued by the interactive television shows that enable her to engage in the plot by giving her easy lines to read. She has three walls of her living room engulfed in these screens and provokes Montag to purchase a fourth. The soap operas are interactive. Viewers get scripts and roles to act out along with the actors on the screen. Television has become her foremost means of entertainment. She is fully involved in their false lives and regards them as her family.
