Question

Read the sentence. “I want to get a summer job so I can buy a pre-owned car,” said Amala to her father. How does the euphemism "pre-owned" affect the sentence? The euphemism makes the car seem more appealing. The euphemism makes car ownership seem more important. The euphemism makes Amala seem more decisive.  The euphemism makes the job seem more desirable.

Answer 1

It would be the first choice - The euphemism makes the car seem more appealing.

The "pre-owned" there is referring to the car so the third and fourth choice is out of the possible correct answers. Euphemism is an indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing. So the word pre-owned will make the car seem more appealing than the actual idea of it being a secondhand car.
