Question

Please help. :)

Read the passage.

Devin was standing in line at the water slide with his friend Kyle when the boys were approached by an employee who told Devin he was not tall enough to go down the slide. Devin was devastated, but Kyle brushed it off, telling Devin that the ride wasn’t cool enough for the vertically challenged. Kyle always knew the right things to say.

Which option offers the strongest explanation for Kyle’s use of the euphemism vertically challenged?

Kyle is embarrassed for Devin and can think of nothing to say.
Kyle did not want Devin to ignore the park rules about going down the slide.
Kyle did not want Devin to feel bad about being too short to ride the new water slide.
Kyle is annoyed by Devin and wants to go on the water slide without him.

Answer 1

"Kyle did not want Devin to feel bad about being too short to ride the new water slide."

Explanation: This is the sentence that makes the most sense. I hope this helps. :)
