"The pen reminds of a great author that lived amongst us." This sentence is an example of b) Euphemism.

What is a euphemism?

  • Euphesim is a figure of speech that is used to depict the harsh realities in a subtle way.
  • The truth of life like death, hatred, etc depicting strong negative emotions which can make people uncomfortable are displayed in a less offensive manner.
  • Instead of saying "He died", it can be said, "He passed away."

Euphemism in "The pen reminds of a great author that lived amongst us.",

  • Here, also instead of saying that the pen reminds of a great author who is dead.
  • It is said the author that lived amongst us.
  • The past tense 'lived' conveys that the author is no more.

Other incorrect options here,

  • Personification is giving characteristics of living beings to inanimate objects.
  • Allegory is a figure of speech in which hidden meaning is conveyed.
