Hello. Did you forget to show that the underlined words to which the question refers are: cruel favor
In addition, you forgot to show the answer options. The options are:
The underlined figure of speech is ________ (choices: a euphemism, a simile, a metaphor, an oxymoron)
The reader can infer that ________ (choices: the narrator plans to take up baking with Lisette, the narrator feels that Lisette should do her more favors, the narrator will pretend to enjoy Lisette's brownies, the narrator suspects that Lisette is dishonest with her)
Answer:
1. euphemism
2. the narrator will pretend to enjoy Lisette's brownies
Explanation:
Euphenism is the figure of speech that has a lighter and more pleasant term, softening a bad meaning of another term that could be used. In this case, when the narrator says that Lisette took the Brownies as a "cruel favor" he wanted to soften the meaning that eating her brownies would be a bad experience.
Furthermore, by using eupenism, the author reinforces the idea that since Lisette is a very kind person, he will pretend to like the brownies, even if he doesn't like it.

Answer:
T. J. fools Stacey into giving him his new coat, because it will fit him better. Uncle Hammer is furious, and tells Stacey to let T. J. keep the coat. The day before Christmas, Papa returns from the railroads. That evening, everyone in the family, including L. T., gathers to tell stories. Eventually, L. T. tells the story of a previous Christmas, in 1876, when a gang of white men came to his house and killed his parents. The children are horrified, but Papa wants them to hear about their history. In the middle of the night, Cassie wakes to overhear the adults talking about the boycott of the Wallace store and of the need for someone to give the black community credit so they can shop in Vicksburg. They think of using the farm as collateral, but they don't want to lose their land.
The children are delighted to receive books for Christmas. Stacey and Cassie get books by Alexander Dumas and Christopher-John and Little Man get two volumes of Aesop's fables. The Averies join the Logans for Christmas dinner. Jeremy comes over and gives Stacey a whistle. Stacey doesn't know how to react, and after Jeremy leaves he asks Papa. Papa says there's nothing wrong with friendship, but that friendship with whites usually leads to trouble.

Smart Snacking
"Don't eat that, you'll spoil your appetite." If only you had a dollar for every time you heard that growing up.
But if the right foods are offered at the right times, snacks can play an important role in managing kids' hunger and boosting nutrition. A well-timed snack can even out spikes in hunger and provide a much-needed energy boost between meals.
Snacks can keep younger children from getting so hungry that they become cranky, and they can keep older kids from overeating at larger meals. And for picky eaters of all ages, snacks can be added insurance that they're getting the necessary nutrients.
This doesn't mean that giving your child a cupcake half an hour before dinner is suddenly a good idea. The best snacks are nutritious — low in sugar, fat, and salt. Fresh fruit and vegetables and foods that contain whole grains and protein are also good choices.
But it's not just about what you offer as a snack — it's how much you serve and when. Pay attention to portion sizes and timing of snacks so they don't interfere with a child's appetite for the next scheduled meal.
Kids who are allowed to graze all day long often have a hard time figuring out when they're truly hungry — one key to maintaining a healthy weight in childhood and later in life. A structured meal and snack schedule is one solution. You offer the meals and snacks at the same times each day, and your kids can decide what they want to eat and how much.
