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.
