True
 A)

False
B)

things are presented, or slanted.

CORREC It is fair to say that euphemisms can sometimes be helpful and constructive.
T

True
A)

False
B)

Feedback:
It is sometimes compassionate to use a euphemism when addressing the
bereaved. An example: using passed-away, instead of "He sure became road
kill in that car crash". As long as one is not intending to deceive, it seems an
ethical thing to do to couch one's terms in softer wording--euphemisms.
