English
1 answer:
mafiozo [28]3 years ago
6 0

<u>Answer</u>:

The statement which contains an ironic use of understatement is: The pilot called flying from one side of the Atlantic to the other a simple task of "puddle jumping." So, the right answer over here is Option D.

<u>Explanation</u>:

When an author or a writer wants to make a situation seem less important or significant  than it truly is then he/she makes an understatement. This figure of speech offers an ironic  effect to a statement and results in saying something opposite than what is expected. In this  statement mentioned above, the Atlantic ocean is ironically described as a puddle but it  actually means that the Atlantic ocean is gigantic.
