The correct answer is C) The teacher wants to soften the harsh reality of the class’s failure.

The choice that is a possible explanation for the teacher’s use of a euphemism in the above situation is "The teacher wants to soften the harsh reality of the class’s failure."

The school teacher was surprised by the marks of the students. It had to find the right words that fit the moment. Ninety percent of the class failed. This was an awkward situation and the teacher tried to communicate it not in a harsh way but in a polite way.

A euphemism is an indirect word that can be used to soften the harsh meaning of another word in order to be more polite when addressing the news or communicating with other people.

Why couldn't allies land in northwestern part of France ww2
geniusboy [140]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The reason why the Allies couldn't land in the northwestern part of France in World War II was that the Allies did not have air superiority in northern France in the North Sea. The Allies believed that Germany was too strong in the North with better defenses

That is why the Allies chose to land in Normandy, closer to the bases in England, and its open beaches not as heavily defended as in the North.

The code name for Normandy was "Operation Overload."

In June 1944, the Allied forces, comprised in the mission by the United States, Great Britain, Canada, France, and Poland, liberated that territory that was invaded by the German Army. After that victory, the Allied forces advanced to Berlin.
