Answer:

Euphemism

Explanation:

Euphemism refers to the term or expression which is used in place of offensive or unpleasant terms. They are used as a medium to disclose certain ideas that are taboo in society. At times, they are focused on amusing thereby covering the offensive reality. The objects are not addressed directly as it may prove negative intended or bring embarrassment. It is used as a means to lessen the negative impact of the word used. As Jane, in the given question uses the term "big-boned", it means that she is using a euphemism. She does not use any negative term as it may bring negative remarks.

Jason owns a house and property in Ogden, Utah. He does NOT live in the home now, but plans to retire there. He is able to rent
GalinKa [24]

This house of the Jason is investment asset because he is not living up in his Ogden’s house while people (sports enthusiast and their families) are willing to take that house on rent.

Explanation:

According to me this house is a very good investment asset because people (sports enthusiast and their families) are willing to take that house on rent while he is not living up there. The every month rent money can be seen as the good lifetime investment or return cost of his property.

This property is real estate which is good source of generating money to continuous years or lifetime though he need to spend on damage or maintenance cost.
