What is a satirical understatement?

English
1 answer:
NemiM [27]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Answer:

B. Foreshadowing.

Explanation:

In chapter 1 of Lord of the Flies, when the plane crashes on the unihabited island, Jack, Ralph, and Simon goes to examine the island to know whether the island is truly inhabited or not.

After they get confirmed that the island is unihabited, they have a great jaunt over the granite cliff. While they are having a fun, over the granite cliff, they find a pig caught in the vines. Jacks inability to kill the pig and his vow to kill it next time he sees is an example of foreshadowing.

This foreshadows the death of Simon, who was killed in a zest by the group led by Jack.

Therefore, option B is correct.

Josh works as a landscaper. He has written a proposal for a customer for a landscaping job. Which proposal statement is the best
klasskru [66]

Even though the proposals seem to be very similar, the best option would be the second form: We propose to install and landscape a 100-gallon pond at the front of the property. The pond will feature a 30-gallon per minute pump and fountain.


A business proposal should be well written and direct, not leaving room for doubts and misinterpretations. The person offering the service should make the offer clear, stating what will be done and how it will be done.

Using a direct structure for the sentences and Active Voice - instead of Passive Voice - helps making it simple and less likely for the reader to misunderstand who will do the job and how it will happen. That is precisely what happens in the option above: it mentions, who (we), action (install and landscape), what (a 100-gallon pond), where (at the front of the property). The second sentence begins by using the word "pond" again to make it clear that it will be the pond installed that will present certain features.

It's a direct business proposal that will most certainly not be misunderstood.
