Which statement contains an ironic use of understatement?

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.

Reflect on and respond to the question: Would you die for your country? Why or why not?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Yes, I am ready to die for my country if it is for a right cause.

Explanation:

Yes, I am ready to die for my country if it is for a right cause. For instance, if we are being attacked by an enemy or if we are being called for a sui cide/risky mission like vaccination trial, exploration, saving lives missions, etc, which all in return would save the lives of our fellow citizens, I am ready to die for my country.

My country is Canada and it has always given me a sense of pride and patriotism. Canda has done so much for its citizens for hundreds of years and still continues to do so. Therefore, if there comes a time to give up my life for the right cause of our country and if it means that my family, friends and fellow citizens would be safe, I would gladly do it.
