Answer:

Euphemisms are substitutes for crude, hurtful, or otherwise offensive expressions. Euphemisms manipulate the meaning of a word or phrase to make them appear more pleasant. Because the purpose of euphemism is to disguise semantics and avoid saying what is meant, it has been called "the language of evasion, hypocrisy, prudery, and deceit,"

Explanation

as an example: For nearly all actors it begins at the end of the audition with four words from the auditor, "Thanks for coming in." . . . "Thanks for coming in" is a polite entertainment euphemism for "You suck. Was that the best you could do?"

Answer: Students should tell how migration and leaving one's home was a common occurrence at this time, and knowing this can help understand and appreciate the poems. Students may use examples of exile on the sea in "The Seafarer," exile from home and companions in "The Wayfarer," and exile from home and the one you love in "The Wife's Lament."
