Answer:

The theme is an important event in life that changed my character for the better.

Explanation:

The most significant event that happened in my life was moving to South-East Asia. That trip not only influenced my character and temperament, but also my whole conception of the world. Before all, their way of perceiving life, family and enjoyment is completely different than in the western part of the hemisphere, especially Chinese. They really tend to enjoy in every part of their day – if we’re talking about work, about food or having a coffee with friends, it doesn’t matter. I would say they have a healthy and simple relationship with life. They are kind and smiling, and always happy to help you if you need something. Passing my time there helped me to overcome my insecurities and to strengthen my beliefs that I had, because European values and lifestyle changed in a way that people feel more and more lonely and disconnected from the world, if we consider the history.

Which scenario is an example of understatement?
8_murik_8 [283]

The answer is C: A teacher assigns a 10 page research project and says, "this might take a little time".

An understatement is a statement that underplays the significance, value, size, relevance or importance of something and it makes it seem considerable less than what it actually is. In this example, the teacher makes it seem like writing a 10 page essay will take just “a little time”, when in fact, any student knows that a 10 page essay in a considerable enterprise that will take a lot more than just a little time.
