B) I have graduated from Meloncamp High School about 115th out of class of 126.

C) Mr. J taught me more than English. He taught me what Pops taught me before his passing...love.

Answer:

D) So what if I took "the road less traveled by" and added a one-year, scenic detour to my journey...

Step-by-step explanation:

Euphemism alludes to neighborly, roundabout articulations that supplant words and expressions thought about brutal and inconsiderate, or which recommend something upsetting.

Euphemism depends to a great extent on the social setting of the speakers and journalists, where they want to supplant certain words that may demonstrate humiliating for specific audience members or perusers in a specific circumstance.
