Euphemisms can be bad when they are used to conceal unpleasant or disturbing ideas or undermine appropriate attitudes towards serious issues. Euphemisms frequently have a dehumanizing effect.

Answer:

D. It minimizes the seriousness of something.

Explanation:

Euphemism is the use of indirect word or phrase to replace or substitute with the one that could be too offensive, blunt or harsh. It could be bad when it is about a serious matter as the use of indirect words may affect the seriousness of the matter. The euphemism is employed to reduce the negative impacts of excessive blunt statements but in case of serious issues, it may act as negatively that may ruin the effect or the seriousness of the situation and may imply a wrong message.

Commonlit: A present for Mrs. Robertson, How does Mrs. Robertson’s note to María Elisa develop the theme of the passage?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Mrs. Robertson's note to Maria Elisa really helps her confidence and relieves her stress at thinking the teacher no longer likes her.

Explanation:

Maria Elisa is poor but she wants to give her favorite teacher a nice gift, just like everyone else in class. However, unlike most people from her class, she can't afford it. She feels very sad about the fact that her mom picked out a pair of stockings to give to Mrs. Robertson and she feels ashamed of having to give it to her, which is why she throws the gift in garbage. However, Mrs. Robertson leaves Maria Elisa a note thanking her for the gift because it's very thoughtful (turns out Mrs. Robertson often tears her stockings).

What similarities can you find between a book and a frigate, a courser, and a chariot?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

I believe this question is based on the poem by Emily Dickinson;

There is no frigate like a book

To take us lands away,

Nor any coursers like a page

Of prancing poetry.

This traverse may the poorest take

Without oppress of toll;

How frugal is the chariot

That bears a human soul!

From this poem, the similarity i can find between a book and a frigate, a courser, and a chariot is their ability to take an individual to a different place  physically or mentally. For effect, the book can take an individual to another place mentally, while the frigate, courser and chariot will take an individual to another place physically.

Answer:

Fabrication is the preparation of fowl/poultry, so other meats don't apply. Mollusks are filter feeders, so they contain a high level of contaminants that could potentially be dangerous to the consumer, meaning depuration is necessary to ensure quality and safety.
