blick, because they soon would become breeders themselves: And besides, it is not improbable that some scrupulous people might be apt to censure such a practice, (although indeed very unjustly) as a little bordering upon cruelty, which, I confess, hath always been with me the strongest objection against any project, how well soever intended.Which statement is an example of understatement in this excerpt?A) The criticism of the practice would be levied "very unjustly."B) Women becoming breeders would be a "loss to the publick."C) Some people "might be apt to" criticize the practice.D) Many women would "become breeders themselves."

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Some people "might be apt to" criticize the practice.

Explanation:

An understatement is a tool used by a speaker to make <u>a situation less important. </u>

In this case, the speaker shows how people were against <em>“females to become breeders”</em>. In a simpler way, they opposed the simple fact that women have children, coming to compare this act as an animal act.

I have never told a lie to avoid an uncomfortable situation
Nimfa-mama [501]
Yes, there have been many times when you have to lie to get out of a situation. For example, I remember a time when I was being asked humiliating questions by a total stranger, so I lied and said that I had to go due to family issues including my mother. It is okay to lie in uncomfortable situations.
