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.

What is the relationship between “catching” a yawn and social behavior?
Pavel [41]
Humans are hardwired to do what we see, hence the term, monkey see, monkey do. The relationship between “catching” a yawn and social behavior is that we subconsciously “catch” the yawn to be seen as “normal” because it is what someone around us has done. A lot of it goes back to psychology. I would suggest looking up Solomon Asch’s human conformity experiment to get a better understanding. :)

Think of possible sources of contents about your personal experiences that you may use to create outputs using literary elements
mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

One of my experiences that can be cited is the long trips I made, between states, using a travel bus. This source would be important to describe scenarios, in a literary work, since a bus trip allows us to see different real scenarios, since the trip is long and passes through different territories.

Another source would be my family relationship. This would be a very rich source, as family relationships have several good and bad moments and several memories can be explored.

My high school experiences could also be used, the friendships I built, the subjects that I found easy and difficult, the difficulties of socializing and the fun moments.

It is also possible to explore my experiences in the sport (tennis, in this case), my training, difficulties and plans. This can be used as a source to design a character's plans and an activity to which he engages.

Finally, it is possible to explore my experiences when camping or doing some activity in nature, the dangers and the satisfaction of this type of activity.

Charlie is mildly amused at how careful Jared was with his appearance; it just wasn't Charlie's way. is that the correct way to
REY [17]
Hi,

No, that is not the correct way to write the sentence. The sentence contains grammatical issues. 

I believe, the correct sentence structure is:

Charlie was mildly amused at how careful Jared was with his appearance; it just wasn't Charlie's way.

But, in another perspective, no change could also be correct.
