Answer:

In a section two, the author claims that "Riding around on a flat tire is not only difficult, but also dangerous - for both you
Elena L [17]

Answer:

.....is not only difficult, but also dangerous.....

Explanation:

It´s not a good idea to ride a bike on a flat tire, instead you should buy a new flat and replace it immediately. If you insist in riding on around on a flat tire (this task will not be that easy to do),  you probably will destroy your bike definitely and put yourself and others at serious risk of having an accident.   ..... for both you and your bike."

sedaris uses both understatement and hyperbole in this essay. Identify two examples of each and explain the effect
Korvikt [17]
The hyperbole “the size of tombstones”. The author uses the hyperbole to define the extent of Anna's teeth. It’s clear the character does not have teeth in her mouth as big as tombstones or else the character would not be eager to speak. The effect of wit is shaped through Sedaris's use of the hyperbole. Also, it makes an improved description of the scene so that the person who reads can make a better visual.   
The hyperbole "Every day spent with you is like having a cesarean section."The result is this is where David Sedaris for the primary time meanwhile being in France he could comprehend every word that anybody was saying.
