Which statement contains the best example of understatement? a) the good news is that you're okay; the bad news is that many others aren't. b) just a tiny bit of bad news: your hometown has been completely destroyed. c) the day i won the tennis championship was the best day of my life. d) i felt very upset the day we lost the big game.

The correct answer is B) Just a tiny bit of bad news: your hometown has been completely destroyed.

Explanation: An undrestatement is a statement that describes something as much smaller, less important, or less bad than it actually is. In the above statement, someone's hometown being destroyed would not be considered "tiny bit of bad news", making it an understatement.
