Thank u ms sue

You're welcome, Essence.

Of course! I'd be happy to help you understand what "underestimate" means.

To start, let's break down the word. "Under" means below or lower, and "estimate" means to make a guess or calculation. So, when you "underestimate" something, it means you have made a guess or calculation that is lower or below the actual value or expectation.

For example, imagine you are trying to estimate the number of marbles in a jar. If you look at the jar and think there are only 50 marbles, but there are actually 100 marbles inside, you have underestimated the number. Your estimate was below the actual value.

It's important to remember that underestimating something can happen because of different reasons like lack of information, insufficient analysis, or not considering all the factors.

To avoid underestimating, you can practice by gathering more information, analyzing data carefully, and considering all relevant factors. This will help you make a more accurate estimate.
