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.

Based on what you have read, what can you infer about the relationship between advertising and the price you pay for a product a
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

From the article, it is seen that advertising can influence the price of commodities negatively or positively. Negatively, critics believe that "consumers must pay for the cost of advertising in the form of higher prices for goods" ("Advertising," 2012). Opponents of this believe hold that the 'massive audience captured through advertising can bring down the price of goods' ("Advertising," 2012).

Explanation:

In-text citation of quotes and the paraphrase of important points found in encyclopedias without an author, require stating the title of the article, encasing it in quotes and a bracket as well as inputting the year when the article was written.

In the case of the text above that is an Encyclopedia Britannica article without an author, the title of the article was first stated and then this was followed by the year it was published. The same rule was followed for the paraphrase of important points.
