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.

Answer:

I'm nobody! Who are you? by Emily Dickinson

Explanation:

I'm Nobody! Who are you?

Are you – Nobody – too?

Then there's a pair of us!

Don't tell! they'd advertise – you know!

How dreary – to be – Somebody!

How public – like a Frog –

To tell one's name – the livelong June –

To an admiring Bog!

The poem stands out by using exclamations marks. As if she is trying to get her point across. She also uses the dashes to make It emphasizes ideas, It indicates missing words or phrases, It replaces commas or periods.

The author uses the word ''Nobody'' which would mean invisable, not poular, lonely. She also uses the word ''Somebody'' meaning popular, visable, liked.

The poems meaing is she would rather be a nobody than a somebody because she thinks it would be dull or bleck. she compares ''somebody'' to a frog meaning ''a somebody'' grabs your attencion without earning it. She also compares society to a bog meaning that the praise society offers to a ''somebody'' is worthless

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "Yearbook" we can see the description of a girl that thinks of herself as an individual and also is afraid to be open and share with other people, because her best friend moved to another city and left her, because of these reasons she spends her time alone.
