Excerpt from: letter of advice to his daughter martha
thomas jefferson
annapolis, nov. 28th, 1783
my dear patsy
the good lady who has taken you under her roof, who has undertaken to see that you perform all your exercises, and to admonish you in all those wanderings from what is right or what is clever, to which your inexperience would expose you: consider her, i say, as your mother, as the only person to whom, since the loss with which heaven has to afflict you, you can now look up; and that her displeasure or disapprobation, on any occasion, will be an immense misfortune, which, should you be so unhappy as to incur by any unguarded act, think no concession too much to regain her good will.
what is the connotative effect of the word immense on jefferson's tone in this letter?
a) jefferson is using the word primarily to create a joking or teasing tone with his daughter that is evident throughout the entire passage.
b) the word "immense" does not show any particular concern or worry on jefferson's part for his daughter's behavior toward her caretaker and tutor.
c) it shows that jefferson is exaggerating slightly to lightly tease his daughter for her concerns about her new life with this caretaker and tutor.
d) if she were to upset her tutor, jefferson stresses how extremely bad this event would be, possibly one of the worst things his daughter could ever
do.
quick answers are appreciated : )
