Question

What type of figurative language is represented in the following quote?

"O God, I have an Ill-divining soul!
Methinks I see thee, now thou art so low,
As one dead in the bottom of a tomb."
A. foreshadowing
B. hyperbole
C. understatement
D. metaphor

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is an understatement because understatement is the presentation of something being smaller or less important than how it is and God which is considered as a supreme or mighty being in Christianity is being portrayed through comparison to a dead person in a tomb, and this degrades Him resulting in an understatement.
