The answer is C: A teacher assigns a 10 page research project and says, "this might take a little time".

An understatement is a statement that underplays the significance, value, size, relevance or importance of something and it makes it seem considerable less than what it actually is. In this example, the teacher makes it seem like writing a 10 page essay will take just “a little time”, when in fact, any student knows that a 10 page essay in a considerable enterprise that will take a lot more than just a little time.

Which pair of words consists of homonyms? way; weigh mode; lode fervor; fever

kogti [31]

I don't believe you meant homonym because it is when two words sound the same but have different meanings and are spelled the same, but I think you meant Homophones
-------------
Mode and Lode don't sound the same
and neither do fervor and fever
Way and Weigh on the other hand do sound the same
Way and weigh are your answers
