The answer is understatement because he says that he "does not write all that much." This understatement in his short autobiographical essay adopts the same tone found in "There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella."

An understatement is a literary device that writers use to make an event seem less important that it appears to be.

The correct answer is D.

In his autobiographical essay, Sorrentino uses an undestatement when he says he was won "some literary awards."

Right before this sentence, Sorrentino explains that his work has been included in anthologies in Spanish, English and other languages and has been translated to twelve different languages.

These are great acomplishments which not all writers are able to achieve; so, by saying that he has "won some literary awards," he is understating his success as a writer.

Additionally Edwards builds on one of his similes to create an extended analogy first find the paragraph that serves as one long
brilliants [131]

In the following excerpt of "Sinners in the hands of an angry God", Edwards extensively compares God's wrath with great Warters:

"The Wrath of God is like great Waters that are  dammed for the present; they increase more and  more, & rise higher and higher, till an Outlet is  given, and the longer the Stream is stop’d, the more  rapid and mighty is it’s Course, when once it is let  loose. 'Tis true, that Judgment against your evil  Works has not been executed hitherto; the Floods  of God’s Vengeance have been with-held; but your  Guilt in the mean Time is constantly increasing,  and you are every Day treasuring up more Wrath;  the Waters are continually rising an waxing more  and more mighty; and there is nothing but the meer  Pleasure of God that holds the Waters back that are  unwilling to be stopped, and press hard to go forward;  if God should only withdraw his Hand from  the Flood-Gate, it would immediately fly open,  and the fiery Floods of the Fierceness and Wrath of  God would rush forth with inconceivable Fury, and  would come upon you with omnipotent Power; and  if your Strength were ten thousand Times greater  than it is, yea ten thousand Times greater than the  Strength of the stoutest, sturdiest, Devil in Hell, it  would be nothing to withstand or endure it."
