Determine Meaning: Words and Phrases

Question 141092 • NC-English Language Arts 10 CR

Read the passage. What is the meaning of the euphemism "I have been stilled”?

Answer
A
I am speechless.
B
I have died.
C
I have been abandoned.
D
I am lonely.

Explanation

A euphemism uses a gentler or less direct phrase for something difficult to say. “I have been stilled” suggests that life has ended, using “stilled” to imply the person is no longer alive. So it means “I have died,” not merely that the speaker is speechless or lonely.
