The real meaning behind the euphemism "areas are depopulated" is "People are killed during a war," as stated in option B and explained below.

<h3>What is euphemism?</h3>

We call euphemism the figure of speech that says something in a way that sounds less bad than it really is. Suppose your break your leg playing football and someone asks you if it hurts. You reply, "Just a little," which is an euphemism, since your leg actually hurts a lot.

Therefore, to find the option that would be the real meaning of "areas are depopulated," we must find a statement that is quite bad:

We can eliminate option A because the meaning is the opposite of what we need.

Option B is the correct answer. It is really bad that people are dying, so using "depopulated" to say that would be an euphemism.

We can eliminate option C. Like the first option, this is the opposite of the meaning we need.

Option D has a similar meaning to "depopulate," but it is not a bad thing. There would be no euphemism here.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.

The use of diction contributes to the mood because the playful descriptions of "word warrior" and "gray-haired Mighty Mouse" create a lighthearted mood.

<h3>What is diction?</h3>

In literature, diction refers to the author's choice and use of certain words when describing or explaining something. Diction influences tone and mood in literary works.

We call mood in literary works that atmosphere created by authors that make readers feel certain things or a certain way. Mood is influenced by diction, that is, by the words used.

In the excerpt we are analyzing here, the mood is lighthearted as the author uses certain expressions to describe the aunt. Calling someone a "gray-haired Mighty Mouse" is quite a funny way to describe that person.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option D is the correct answer.
