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?"

<span>The theme that the passage implies about children and learning is :C. Children who learn facts and conform will likely succeed in life. Even though the speech is described from the narrator's perspective, we have to focus on the words, not on the narrator's attitude. With all the strictness and seriousness, all the people on the scene tried to show the importance of appealing to facts and of being pragmatic, meaning that only if kids followed this way of learning they would succeed.</span>
