The answer is:  D. understatement.

An understatement is the display of something as minor, worse or less significant than it actually is. In this case, the idea is treated casually or downplayed, which means somebody makes it appear less important than it is.

The rest of the options are incorrect because a hyperbole is an exaggeration not meant to be taken literally; a paradox is a statement that sounds reasonable but its conclusion does not make sense or is contradictory, and an irony means the opposite of what is being said.

What is your opinion about term limits?
katrin [286]
My opinion is that Yes they should The congressmen right now have been there too long - old ideas and prejudices still exist. By having term limits it would stop this altogether. New younger congressmen should agree with term limits before elections. These laws need to be changed, updated. I hope the American people take a vote to oust the elders.
