Expressions such as "resilience," "stakeholder engagement," and "net-zero" crowd policy documents, their meanings stretched until they assume the flexibility of (84) ____ . Within this semantic marketplace, language stops revealing reality and starts performing it. Reports lean heavily on euphemism; proclamations sparkle with procedural virtue. Crises are not named directly; instead, they are (85) ____ into so-called "developmental challenges." The syntax of suffering is diluted, even while the underlying facts remain severe.

Concept: “Too” shows excess – more than acceptable – often with “for”.
