Answer:

The author is using a metaphor in this passage.

Explanation:

A methaphor is a literary device that compares one thing to another without being literal. In this case, the metaphor is "Lori is a hawk." Obviously, Lori is not really a hawk, but the author compares her to a hawk because she spotted and swooped in the mistake like a hawk would do with their prey. Unlike a similie, a methaphor does not use like or as to make the comparison.

Hello Davontecofield, a metaphor is a figure of speech that refers, for rhetorical effect, to one thing by mentioning another thing. It may provide clarity or identify hidden similarities between two ideas, so you answer would be L<span>ori is a hawk.
A human can not be a bird unless Lori is a bird which Lori is the name of the hawk but unlikely lol and maybe swooped too.

The argument does not show how peppermint oil should be used, which could lead to public rejection of this product.

We can come to this answer because:

  • Coffee is a product well known by the public, who already know its effects and how to use it.
  • To show a product that can completely replace the coffee of the article readers' lifetime, the author should present a product that is equivalent to coffee.
  • Although the author presents peppermint oil as an alternative product to coffee, the author does not explain the usage formats and the effect of this oil.
  • This promotes incorrect reasoning, as the reader will not be able to see the equivalence between the two products.

In this case, the author did not make a good comparison between the two products, as it reinforces the practicality of consuming coffee and makes peppermint oil inaccessible.

It should be remembered that the above question does not show all answer options and the options presented are incorrect.
