The Captain peered into the eyepiece of the telescope. He adjusted the focus quickly. "It was an atomic fission we saw, all righ

t," he said presently. He sighed and pushed the eyepiece away. "Any of you who wants to look may do so. But it's not a pretty sight." "Let me look," Tance the archeologist said. He bent down to look, squinting. "Good Lord!" He leaped violently back, knocking against Dorle, the Chief Navigator. "Why did we come all this way, then?" Dorle asked, looking around at the other men. "There's no point even in landing. Let's go back at once." "Perhaps he's right," the biologist murmured. "But I'd like to look for myself, if I may."

Answer:

B). But it's not a pretty sight.

Explanation:

Euphemism is characterized as the use of an indirect and unoffensive word or phrase in order to replace another. The words used are considered less offensive, blunt, or vulgar than the word which it replaces. In the given excerpt, the phrase 'but it's not a pretty sight' exemplifies euphemism where the Captain uses the less unpleasant or embarrassing words('not pretty) to denote the situation that he actually saw(instead of horrible). Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
