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?"

What is the author’s purpose in the Above passage, and how does he achieve it through his organization and choice of details
Orlov [11]

Okay. I cannot see the article, again but will try my hardest to answer this anyway.

The purpose can usually be seen in the first sentence or paragraph (unless you have an excerpt). Though it may not be too specific it will usually be backed up by evidence later in the passage. A purpose can always be proven by text details.

Choice of details: should support the purpose

organization: Some things are good for some purposes.

e.g. cause effect, shows the good or bad effects of a purpose. The author can support the purpose or no.

chronological can show how something has changed over time.

etc.

Try to identify the main structure and how the passage is organized and how it supports the main idea.
