The euphemism is a polite way to say Joe is unemployed and looking for a job

I believe that it makes this sentence less depressing, if Joe is sad about losing his job. So he used to work as an insurance underwriter for 20 years, but has now left his job to be a freelance journalist. However, this job is obviously not going so well because he is "between assignments." This means that he is not currently writing anything, and is embarrassed to put it that way.

xeze [42]

Answer:

The descriptive details reveal:

D. the peacefulness of the park

Explanation:

The author of this passage was able to, very skillfully, paint a picture in our minds. Because of the descriptive details used, we can now vividly imagine a peaceful park. Just a couple of fishermen, a lone dog walking by, the setting sun and the flowers, all those elements contribute to the aura of tranquility. There is not much activity - almost none at all. It is the end of the day, that lazy moment when the world seems to be going to sleep. The use of the following words helps convey such peacefulness: waned; strolled; danced; crickets; etc.
