Which detail from "In Another Country" by Ernest Hemingway is an example of understatement? A' . "I had been wounded, it was true; but we all knew that being wounded, after all, was really an accident." B."So we took up the use of grammar, and soon Italian was such a difficult language that I was afraid to talk to him until I had the grammar straight in my mind." C. "The hospital was very old and very beautiful, and you entered through a gate and walked across a courtyard and out a gate on the other side." D. "The three with the medals were like hunting-hawks; and I was not a hawk, although I might seem a hawk to those who had never hunted; they, the three, knew better and so we drifted apart."

Respuesta :

We can see an example of euphemism in option A, where the narrator uses the word "wounded" to soften the term "accident."

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Euphemism is the figure of speech.
  • This figure of speech allows a term with a very serious and heavy meaning to be replaced by another term with a lighter meaning, allowing for a smoother text.

In the sentence "I had been wounded, it was true; but we all knew that being wounded, after all, was really an accident " we can see the use of euphemism between the words "wounded" and "accident" as a way of showing a more polished and lighter text, which even the narrator understands is a better option.
