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>.

solniwko [45]

Philadelphia, June 18

I write this letter out of admiration and hope. For I, who have never purposely hurt another human being, am willing to be hurt to defend a dream.

Sir, I respect you and all that you and the great men of this land have been doing for the sake of us all. For the sake of families and faces that you have never met.

I am no soldier, but I am a believer. I am no fighter, but I am a survivor. I ask you, humbly, to allow me to be a part of history and fight for what is right. I beg you to give me a chance to proudly assure that the good men of this land and our children keep what is their, to keep what they deserve.

Respectfully.

how can i answer this question?do you think the age of 35 to be the president of the united states should be lower yes or no​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

This is an opinion, so there is no right or wrong. However, here are some pointers:

If you think it should be lower than 35, talk about how being younger could possibly give more opportunities, make the country more modern, etc.

If you think it should be higher than 35, talk about how being older can make sure the president is well-established and experienced, can make the country more stable, etc.

Hope this helps.
