Pleasant, polite or harmless sounding words or expressions that are used to mask harsh, rude or infamous truths are________.
A、honorifics
B、terms of humility
C、euphemisms
D、taboos
【正确答案】:C
【题目解析】:首先分析题干,前半句的句意是“用来掩盖残酷、粗鲁或臭名昭著的事实的好听、礼貌且无害的词或短语”,即下划线处缺少的单词的意思,四个选项中A选项的意思是“敬称”,B选项的意思是“谦称”,C选项的意思是“委婉语”,D选项的意思是“禁忌”,所以C项是正确选项。
