Answer:

A euphemism is a type of speech that neutralizes a word that has an offensive or unpleasant meaning.

Explanation:

Euphemism is a figurative language that refers to polite and indirect phrases that are replacing the words that can be offensive or rude or very unpleasant.

The purpose of euphemism in writing is to transfer the message in a legit way, by avoiding the censure. This method is usually used to express something in a direct way but not to offend anyone. It is a use of figurative language instead of a direct one.

One example of euphemism is <em>passed away</em> instead of <em>died</em>. Another example of this method is <em>kick the bucket</em> instead of <em>died</em> or<em> mentally challenged</em> instead of <em>stupid</em>.

<span>"The details of Napoleon's death are unclear. However, there is no question that people today are getting ill and dying from arsenic poisoning. Arsenic compounds occur naturally in the earth's makeup. Contamination of ground water has been found in many countries, including Argentina, Chile, China, India, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, and even the United States. It is a global problem." 
</span>
<span>The best question to ask after reading paragraph 6 is:
How did the ground water in these countries become contaminated? 

It is the best question because the contamination has already reached numerous countries and it should be stopped before it becomes a bigger global problem by contaminating other countries. </span>
