Is this the whole question
<u>Students who don't study don't do well in school. I am a student. Therefore, I don't do well in school. </u>--> hasty generalization
<u>The torrential downfall was light this afternoon</u> --> understatement
<u>Uniforms are the leading cause of stripping students of their individuality. I don't understand why students in high school are forced to start their day so early.</u> --> straw man
<u>Parents are unreasonably strict when it comes to curfews, After all, they can't possibly remember what it's like to be a teenager. </u>--> ad hominem
Hope this helps!
I agree with ur answer....under the surface...because of the context " drilled into the ground "
Because it shows only what the narrator knows at any given point, it increases suspense and tension.
