Which statement contains the best example of understatement?

English
1 answer:
murzikaleks [220]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

C. Given that she had saved my life, I decided that some thanks were

in order

Explanation:

Understatements are when you write something as if it were less of a deal then it really is. In C, this person saved the narrator's life. That's a huge deal. Then the narrator said that "some thanks were in order" super casually, as if this woman didn't just prevent the narrator from death.

So, C is the most clear understatement out of all of the answers.

7) Why is it important to know the historical context behind William Shakespeare's work?
shusha [124]

Answer:

I think C.

Explanation:

I think this because the other answers seem without evidence or good reasoning to support them. C., however, can be proven by just reading Shakespeare's work. His works are written in old-fashioned English, and can be confusing. Knowing the context behind his stories could help with comprehension of what you're reading.

Hope this helped.
