PLEASE, I ONLY HAVE 10 MINUTES LEFT!!! Which excerpt from Silent Spring best appeals to readers’ pathos? So it had been from the

days many years ago when the first settlers raised their houses, sank their wells, and built their barns. The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms, with fields of grain and hillsides of orchards where, in spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. The countryside was, in fact, famous for the abundance and variety of its bird life, and when the flood of migrants was pouring through in spring and fall people traveled from great distances to observe them. Yet every one of these disasters has actually happened somewhere, and many real communities have already suffered a substantial number of them. A grim specter has crept upon us almost unnoticed, and this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know.

Answer: "A grim specter has crept upon us almost unnoticed, and this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know."

Explanation: According to Excelsior Writing Lab, "Appealing to pathos is about appealing to your audience's emotions. Because people can be easily moved by their emotions, pathos is a powerful mode of persuasion." This final sentence sparks a sadness in me that I can't quite describe, but it certainly catches my attention and makes me want to read the whole story. TL;DR: This sentence is very emotional and invokes pathos in the reader.

How can the writer use understatement in this passage?
sergiy2304 [10]

An understatement is when an author presents something as casual and unimortant when the matter at hand is actually very serious. In other words, an understatement is when an author downplays the severity of a situation.
