Hidden Meanings Hunt

In this worksheet, students read sentences where certain euphemisms are bolded. They use context clues to determine the real meaning behind each euphemism and write an explanation. This activity encourages careful reading, inference, and interpretation of figurative meaning. Students learn how euphemisms mask or soften difficult ideas and how context reveals true intent. The task strengthens vocabulary comprehension and teaches learners how to interpret nuanced language.
