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.

How does paragraph 3 contribute to the author’s argument in "What Fear Can Teach Us" By Karen Thompson?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The paragraph is:

As we grow up, we’re often encouraged to think of fear as a weakness, just another childish thing to discard like baby teeth or roller skates. And I think it’s no accident that we think this way. Neuroscientists have actually shown that human beings are hard-wired to be optimists. So maybe that’s why we think of fear, sometimes, as a danger in and of itself. “Don’t worry,” we like to say to one another. “Don’t panic.” In English, fear is something we conquer. It’s something we fight. It’s something we overcome. But what if we looked at fear in a fresh way? What if we thought of fear as an amazing act of the imagination, something that can be as profound and insightful as storytelling itself?

The author aims to redefine fear as a creative tool that can enhance storytelling.

Explanation:

In this paragraph, Karen Thompson challenges the society's prevailing concept of fear; that it is something to overcome, something to constantly fight. She argues that fear is much more than we've been told. Fear is complex and broad and we ourselves have to figure out whether we overcome it or learn from it. She concludes by arguing that fear can not only be a powerful motivator, but it can also be used as a powerful creative tool.

Which of the follow best describes how the man in the box on the sled
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

A reminder of what the characters face.

Explanation:

Jack London's novel "White Fang" revolves around the story of a wild wolfdog named White Fang. The story delves into the life of the wolf-dog, a mix breed offspring and his survival, and eventually ends up as a domestic pet in California.

The given passage is from Part 1 of the story where two men, Henry and Bill were passing through the snowy wilderness, in a sled pulled by their six dogs. The author includes a certain detail about one man who had died and was kept in a box on the sled, <em>"a man whom the Wild had conquered and beaten down until he would never move nor struggle again"</em>. The narrator continues, <em>"It is not the way of the Wild to like movement. Life is an offense to it, for life is movement; and the Wild aims always to destroy movement [...] man who is the most restless of life, ever in revolt against the dictum (law) that all movement must, in the end, come to the cessation of movement"</em>.

This statement seems suggestive of the obstacles or force of nature that the characters have faced. The Wild represents the conflict they are met with, and thus, make the dead man a representation of what the other two characters are to face in their journey.
