Replace the underlined common phrases with the right option.

The king passed away last night.

Answer: A

Passed away means died.

Pass away is a polite, gentle way of saying that someone has died, used out of respect: The king died last night.

Lived is the opposite. Fell down and woke up describe ordinary actions, not death.

Such softened expressions are called euphemisms; others for death are breathed his last and is no more.
