Use the paragraph to answer the question.Tom is a pretty okay guy. Sure, he’s a bit style-challenged, and his humor leaves a lot to be desired—but at the end of the day, if you dropped a twenty on the ground and Tom saw, I’d say there’s a fifty percent chance you’d get it back.How does the author use euphemism?

The author uses euphemism by describing Tom as "a pretty okay guy" instead of directly saying he is average or mediocre.
That's not one of the answers
My apologies for the confusion. You are correct, the author uses euphemism by describing Tom as a "pretty okay guy" instead of directly stating his flaws or negative traits. They also use euphemism by saying that Tom is "style-challenged" and his humor "leaves a lot to be desired" instead of using more direct or negative language. Thank you for pointing that out.
