sedaris uses both understatement and hyperbole in this essay. Identify two examples of each and explain the effect

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.

In the text this shows when it says:

"The mistakes they made in the rush for glory slowed the progress of paleontology for many years".

"In addition to sabotaje, Cope and Marsh forced their teams to dig up and transport bones quickly. Such speed damaged many specimens, but each man wanted the credit of making the first discoveries of new species".

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
LiRa [457]

Answer: "By contrast, the plantation had only one purpose: to create a single product that could be grown, ground, boiled, dried, and sold to distant markets."

Explanation:

<em>Sugar Changed the World </em>is a book written by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos. In the book, they explore the history of sugar, particularly in slave trade.
