Concept:The expression "Notes of Salvation" softens the unpleasant reality of exam malpractice, so it is a euphemism.
Explanation:In Khadija Abubakar Jalili's novel, Kola passes cheat notes to Salma during an examination.
The writer deliberately calls these notes "Notes of Salvation" instead of naming them as cheat notes or forbidden materials.
This choice of words makes the act of cheating appear helpful and respectable rather than dishonest.
A euphemism is a mild or indirect expression used in place of a harsh or embarrassing one.
The phrase is not ironic, because the notes are sincerely meant to help Salma pass, even though they are wrong.
It is not anachronistic, since there is no error of time, and it is not honorific, because it is not aimed at showing respect to a person.
Thus, "Notes of Salvation" serves to reduce the unpleasantness of cheating, which is the function of a euphemism.
Answer:B. euphemistic
