Question

Which of these BEST explains the euphemism until the end in this excerpt? A) The Father died. B) The Mother died. C) Father son became ill.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is A - the father died.

Explanation:

In the excerpt below...

The married lad watched his dad lose his crops, then his wealth,

While the hat witnessed worse, constant fleeting of his health.

On the porch until the end, father son simply sat.

....the Euphemism UNTIL THE END is an indirect expression...a milder way to express the death of the father. Note that it was stated that the son witnessed the father's loss of his crops and then his wealth, before his health began to deteriorate.
