Question

euphemism = a word or phrase intended to soften an unpleasant, embarrassing, or harsh word/phrase. jeb was \between jobs\ and couldn’t pay his bills. this euphemism means
jeb was \working too hard\ to pay his bills.
jeb didn’t have \enough time\ to pay his bills.
jeb was \unemployed\ and couldn’t pay his bills.

Explanation:

A euphemism softens an unpleasant term. "Between jobs" is a euphemism for being unemployed (without a job), which would explain not being able to pay bills. The other options ("working too hard", "not enough time") don't relate to the meaning of "between jobs".

Answer:

C. Jeb was "unemployed" and couldn't pay his bills.
