问题 The modern age is a permissive one in which things can be said explicitly, but the old tradition of ____ dies hard.
选项 A、garrulousness
B、exaggeration
C、excoriation
D、bombast
E、euphemism
答案E
解析 -方程等号：but表示转折，前后取反。
- 强词和对应：but前面说现代是一个思想能被清楚表达的时代，因此空格和explicitly根据but取反，体现“不清楚”。garrulousness话多，exaggeration夸张，excoriation严厉的指责，bombast浮夸的言语，euphemism委婉语。euphemism的释义是a mild or pleasant word or phrase that is used instead of one that is unpleasant or offensive。因此答案选E，体现一种“不直接”的表达。
