Select the correct text in the passage.
evablogger [386]

Answer: The line in this excerpt from The Still Alarm by George S. Kaufman that demonstrates the use of understatement is - FIRST FIREMAN (feels the wall): <u>"It's pretty bad right now. "</u>

Explanation:

<em>The Still Alarm </em>is a play, written by George S. Kaufman. In the play, Kaufman uses understatements to mock the British for their calmness, which is present even in quite stressful situations that would normally create panic.

An understatement is the presentation of something as being less important than it actually is. They are often used to create a humorous situation. The fire is strong enough to destroy the wall, but the fireman only states 'it's pretty bad." This is an example of an understatement - instead of describing fire as quite dangerous or horrible, he uses this weak description.

Which sentence's evaluative modifiers convey strong disapproval?
Makovka662 [10]
Well, you need to give us the choices before we can give an exact answer but normally you can evaluate the tone by thinking about the context and meaning.
some examples of strong disapproval might be: "She's such a horrible person" or "I really hate this lamp it's ugly" The bolded words show the strong disapproval.
But most likely you should be able to find it by evaluating tone.

What is the authors likely purpose for including paragraph 31? In “The Nose”
Oksana_A [137]

Paragraph 31

''He bit his lips in annoyance, left the coffee-house and decided not to smile or look at  anyone, which was not like him at all. Suddenly he stood rooted to the spot near the front  door of some house and witnessed a most incredible sight. A carriage drew up at the  entrance porch. The doors flew open and out jumped a uniformed, stooping gentleman  who dashed up the steps. The feeling of horror and amazement that gripped Kovalyov  when he recognized his own nose defies description! After this extraordinary sight  everything went topsy-turvy. He could hardly keep to his feet, but decided at all costs to  wait until the nose returned to the carriage, although he was shaking all over and felt  quite feverish.''

Answer: To show how people are taking themselves too seriously although they are the same as others

Explanation:  

In this paragraph, we can the main situation in ''The Nose'' by Nikolai Gogol and that is Kovalyov's nose loss which is showing a lot of irony and grotesque. He was terrified when he found out that his nose is walking freely on the streets but he was the most worried about what the other people will think about his loss.

  • With this irony, Gogol's purpose was to show readers how nonsense is the social position or title. He showed that most people are taking themselves too seriously because they are thinking that they are important in society but actually they are like everyone else.

This story is surreal but it is shown in the most realistic and detailed way.
