Part of this excerpt would be considered an understatement because when Cecily says, “There is no reason why I should make a sec

ret of it to you,” she actually does have a reason to keep it a secret. when Cecily says, “Mr. Ernest Worthing and I are engaged to be married,” she is actually making a joke. when Gwendolen says, “I think there must be some slight error,” she is actually referring to the large error of Cecily saying she is engaged to Ernest. when Gwendolen says, “The announcement will appear in the Morning Post on Saturday,” she is not telling the truth.

Answer:

When Gwendolen says, “I think there must be some slight error,” she is actually referring to the large error of Cecily saying she is engaged to Earnest.

Explanation:

An understatement is when something is presented or taken as smaller than it really is. In reality, the issue is much bigger that it poses a great obstacle for the events, but when they are presented as if it's just trifles, then that is called an understatement.

In the given excerpt from Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest", Cecily and Gwendolen are seen in conversation about their relationships respectively. But when Cecily mentioned that she is engaged to Earnest, Gwendolen finds it shocking for she is also engaged to a man named Earnest. So, when she said that there must be <em>"some slight error"</em> in Cecily's information, she is actually referring to the big error that is in their engagement news.
