The right answer to the question is B.
Answer:
overstatement --> E. hyperbole
pleasant-sounding --> C. euphony
understatement --> A. litotes
simile --> B. cool as a cucumber
cacophony --> D. opposite of euphony
Explanation:
An overstatement or hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to express an idea, a feeling, an action etc.
Euphony refers to a harmonious combination of words or sounds, being pleasant to the ear.
An understatement is the description or presentation of something as being less important than what it really is. Litotes is an ironic understatement.
A simile is a figure of speech which makes a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. It uses words such as "as" or "like".
Cacophony is a discordance of sounds, unpleasant to the ear.
Let's write complete sentences using the given words:
1. Van Gogh's paintings are almost as expensive as the work of Picasso.
2. We did not know the Recycled Orchestra until we watched the video online yesterday.
For the first sentence, we can see that the purpose is to compare the work of two painters, Van Gogh and Picasso. That is why we use the structure "as ... as". We must place the adjective "expensive" in the middle: "almost as expensive as".
For the second sentence, we do not need to add anything. However, because of the word "yesterday", we know the sentence refers to something that happened in the past. Thus, we use the Simple Past tense for the verbs: not know - did not know; watch - watched.
In conclusion, all we need to do is read the words to grasp what the purpose of each sentence is and then add or change whatever is necessary to form a complete sentence.
