A paradox is something that contradicts itself. An allegory is a story used to reveal a hidden image. A hyperbole is something that is <span>exaggerated and isn't meant to be taken literally. Irony is something more humorous and is when events contradict what somebody was expecting or believed. Knowing this, what do you think would be better? Try to read again and look for clues. If you look through, you might be able to tell it is giving off a humorous vibe, I would go for irony, but I might be wrong. Hope I am able to help you! :)</span>

The school cafeteria should offer food that is healthy and nutritious.
makvit [3.9K]
I believe it's persuade. You want to persuade schools to offer better food. B is wrong because you are not entertaining anyone. Inform is wrong because you would just be stating facts. A is wrong because you are not telling someone to do something. Hope this helps! ;)
