Answer: A) Understatement.

Explanation: An understatement is a figure of speech employed by writers or speakers to intentionally make a situation seem less important than it really is. In the given statement we can see illustrated the satirical technique of understatement, because after the speaker says that Tonya sang "the star spangled banner" with perfect pitch, he says that she is an ok vocalist, which seems that is downplaying Tonya's singing abilities.

Complete the sentences by selecting the correct homophones. As Pete and Malia headed out the door on way to the convention, they

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

As Pete and Malia headed out the door on their way to the convention, they almost forgot the money they would need to get in there.

They were very excited to buy the latest edition of their favorite comic book by their favorite author.

Explanation:

Homophones are words that are pronounced the same way but have different meanings (and sometimes spelling).

In the first sentence, there are two homophones: their and there. Their is a word used to describe that something belongs to them (Pete and Malia's way - their way). There is the opposite of here and means at that place (get into the convention - get in there).

The second pair of homophones is buy and by. To buy is a verb that means to purchase something. By is a preposition used to state who is performing a certain action (a comic book by their favorite author - their favorite author wrote the book they are buying).

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The entire essay gives truthful facts about the author.

The essay is an example of Sorrentino's humour.

Explanation:

Sorrention says in his essay: "I'm writing this in the first person to emphasize the truth of these statements" and ".. Considering that I have been writing for thirty-two years, my bibliography is fairly short. " These make it evident that he talks by himself and he has to do so in the first person to sound reliable. He is very young and it seems that no one will talk about his works as a writer for the time being. Besides, there is not much to say about himself but just to mention all the books he has written so far. He sounds ironic but reliable.
