Answer:

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.

Explanation:

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.

Write a conversation between two people sitting on stairs !

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Scene: Two friends meet on the street.

"Hello, John. How are you?"

"I am just fine. And how are you, Martha?"

"Thank you for asking. I am fine. How's your job search coming along."

"My job search is going rather slowly, I'm afraid. Are you still working at Smith and Sons?"

Wasn't that painful to read? The characters are lifeless. You would never speak in that manner in real life, so please don't ever have your characters do it.

Here's a more likely scenario:

"Hey, John, what's up?" Martha asked.

"Not much, you?"

"Same old. You still out job hunting?"

"Yeah, sorry to say. You still at Smith & Sons?"

Now add some filler (deeper POV):

"Hey, John, what's up?" Martha's attempted smile never reached her pretty green eyes. She bit her bottom lip.

John considered his friend for a moment then heaved the heavy backpack off his shoulders. It hit the ground with a thud. "Not much, you?"

"Same old." Martha's voice was so low he had to step closer to hear. "You still out job hunting?" she said as she studied the sidewalk and ran the toe of her shoe along a crack.

"Yeah, sorry to say." He gently lifted her chin to peer into her face. Tears were about to spill there. He felt the pull of her chin as she tried to turn away. "You still at Smith and Sons or did something happen?"

Now we have two living, breathing characters
