Answer:
The effect I think "The Hook" would have on teenagers in the 1950s would be to not make out at random "Lover's Lane/Cove" type places. Their parents would not have wanted their kids to probably get pregnant and become parents at such young ages, so I guess these "Hook" stories worked in rural areas. Asylum and jail breakouts were common in those times without the types of technology they have today. With this being said, teenagers, today would not believe in this story. Also, I would say gun laws are more lenient than before, depending on a state by state cases, so people can defend themselves more easily. Also, video and live stream technology exist so teenagers today will have an assurance that the attacker will be caught if they are attacked.

Answer:

understatement --> A. litotes
simile --> B. cool as a cucumber

Explanation:
An overstatement or hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to express an idea, a feeling, an action etc.
Euphony refers to a harmonious combination of words or sounds, being pleasant to the ear.
An understatement is the description or presentation of something as being less important than what it really is. Litotes is an ironic understatement.
A simile is a figure of speech which makes a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. It uses words such as "as" or "like".
Cacophony is a discordance of sounds, unpleasant to the ear.
In English, repeating words or phrases is referred to as anaphora. Anaphora is a rhetorical device in which sentences start with the same word or sequence of words. In the example given to us, anaphora is shown by the repetition of the word “hello.”
