The detail from "In Another Country" by Ernest Hemingway that is an example of understatement is:  C. "The doctor went to his office in a back room and brought a photograph which showed a hand that had been withered almost as small as the major’s, before it had taken a machine course, and after was a little larger."

<h3>What is an Understatement?</h3>

An understatement is a speech that has little import compared to the real meaning. This means that the author does not fully convey the gravity of the words.

In sentence C, the content of the picture was hard to bear but this was not fully highlighted by the speaker's choice of words.

Answer: canoniz’d bones X

hearsed in death X

we saw thee

ponderous and marble jaws X

the glimpses of the moon

Explanation: The first one talks about canonized bones which is like when someone dies and is officially declared a saint, so then we obviously know it's about something dead. But hearsed in death is the most telling that it's a grave because it's basically saying the bones are in a container of death (AKA grave). And then ponderous and marble jaws is describing a white fragile jaw hanging open, which definitely points to the jaw of a skeleton. All of these help relate it to a grave which helps find the meaning of sepulchre using context clues. Hope this helps u out!

ankoles [38]

Answer:

Dear -----,

                 It has been so boring this summer. During my free time my mom just makes me clean all day. She even made me organize the garage in 110 weather. Good thing that I get paid for babysitting though so I can go out with my friends later. I love to listen to music in general so when I'm helping my mom I just pop in my earphones and start working. I hope you have had a better break then I have.

                                                      Sincerely,-------
