Answer:

The answer is D. The audience is not receptive to the speaker's point of view.

Step-by-step explanation:

An euphemism is a word or a sentence that you use when you want say something that the other person may find offensive or unpleasant.

For example:

  • your parents may say that someone passed away rather that that person died.
  • a boss may say that they had to let someone go, rather then saying they had to fire someone.
  • a person may be called portly or big-boned rather then overweight or fat.
