The line demonstrating the use of an understatement is the following:
<em><u>BOB (still looking out—looks up): Still all right up above, though. </u></em>
Having read the previous lines, the reader gets the sense that the situation is critical, the water is rising and it has already flooded the whole lower part of the hotel. However, Bob wants to diminish the emergency of the situation by stating that the upper part still looks alright meaning that the extent of the damage is not as great as Ed says.
The answer is C. This is because but is being used as a conjunction separating independent clauses in the other answers. You can remove but from A, B, and D, and you are left with 2 simple sentences.

Answer:
The second scene lightens the seriousness of scene one.
Explanation:
This question is about "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
In Act 1, we are presented with the difficulties that the couple Hermia and Lysander, although they are in love, cannot be together, because Hermia is promised mating to another man. If Hermia does not marry this man, she must be severely punished and sentenced to death or life imprisonment. Although this part shows a very serious matter, the second scene relieves this feeling, showing the couple's plans to escape Athens, freeing Hermia from this horrible punishment and allowing them to live together.
