Question

What is a satirical understatement?

Answer 1

Answer:

-A powerful message conveyed with weak wording.

Explanation:

Satire is the use of irony or ridicule to talk about something significant or important. And an understatement is when something important is made to appear less important, making it seem less important than it really is.

When a powerful message is conveyed by using weak words, this is known as a satirical understatement. It is satirical when the message is powerful but then the understatement is when the words used are weak, which makes the message less powerful, thus, understating it.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
