Answer: Understatement

Explanation:

Understatement is a figure of speech in which the speaker describes a situation making it seem 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, and such desire may be absent, however, in reality, the speaker does want the other person to do it otherwise, he would not repeat the same ideas over and over again through the passage and he would not end it with the “Doesn’t it mean anything to you? We could get along” question.

Responding to Fiction - "Horror Story" by Carmen Maria Machado
Ket [755]

In the horror story by Carmen Maria Machado, the first that goes wrong in the house is - a mystery sewer backup; a window crack in the bedroom.

What is Horror Story?

The goal of the fiction genre known as horror is to frighten, horrify, or disgust the reader. Psychological horror and supernatural horror are two sub genres of horror that fall under the category of speculative fiction. The horror story is "a piece of fiction in prose of varying length which shocks, or even frightens the reader, or possibly creates a sensation of disgust or detest," according to literary historian J. A. Cuddon in 1984. The goal of horror is to shock readers by evoking a spooky environment. Frequently, the main threat in a piece of horror literature can be seen as a metaphor for deeper societal worries.

It all began so innocently, with a curiously clogged toilet and a window crack in the bedroom. The drain and the glass had been in good condition before we moved here, but one morning they stopped operating.

Which statement best describes the central idea of the text? Question 35 options: Women protested and made speeches in order to
Likurg_2 [28]

Hello. Unfortunately you did not submit the text that this question refers to. Without the text it is impossible for me to show you which answer option is the correct answer. However, I will try to help you find that answer as best I can.

There is only one way to find the correct answer, and that is by reading the text, and that is what you should do. When reading the text, you will be able to find its central idea, which is nothing more than the subject that the text is presenting. In that case, you will be able to find that subject when you identify what the author of the text is talking about, what he is presenting to the reader.
