Answer: The line in this excerpt from The Still Alarm by George S. Kaufman that demonstrates the use of understatement is - FIRST FIREMAN (feels the wall): <u>"It's pretty bad right now. "</u>
Explanation:
<em>The Still Alarm </em>is a play, written by George S. Kaufman. In the play, Kaufman uses understatements to mock the British for their calmness, which is present even in quite stressful situations that would normally create panic.
An understatement is the presentation of something as being less important than it actually is. They are often used to create a humorous situation. The fire is strong enough to destroy the wall, but the fireman only states 'it's pretty bad." This is an example of an understatement - instead of describing fire as quite dangerous or horrible, he uses this weak description.
So there's usually a passage that goes along with this question and answer choices and the one I had that corresponds with this question and the answers is:
"I've learned that it's the trials that bring out the best in us. Sure I miss dancing, but after the accident I had to find new ways to define myself. In doing so, I've discovered that I'm much more than a dancer. That was something I loved to do- but it's not all of who I am."

Among the given choices, the best answer is the line about an aunt being a small aunt. The first line about Ernest's cigarette case describes the fist major conflict in the play. It merely introduces Wilde's criticism. The ironic line about the earnest value is given as a light comedic attack on Wilde's criticism. The admission of Ernest's double life is used as a revelation in the play. The choice about Lady Bracknell stresses she appears as a close relative but she is really concerned about her family's reputation.
