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.

Tell me how to make the best hot chocolate in the world, plz!!
Bess [88]

Many people often use hot chocolate mix with water or milk, as directed. In my opinion it's best when made with melted chocolate and milk in a pot on the stove. Usually adding a few tiny ingredients like cinnamon, vanilla extract (Small amounts), and/or sugar is good to spice things up. Top a cup of it off with some marshmallows, and you have some very good hot chocolate. Now keep in mind, when cooking it, you don't want too much chocolate compared to milk or vise/versa. It's best when it's at about a caramel consistency. Putting too much chocolate can cause it to attempt to harden over time, or putting too much milk can overpower the taste of the chocolate.

I hope this helped and I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks!
