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.

Option E. One quality of a good research question is that it provides specific details of the context.
<u>Explanation:</u>

For example, if the researcher is researching ‘teenagers’, the question needs to specify what aspect is being referred to. Is it their behaviour with peers, with teachers or with parents or is it their attitude towards particular things?
For instance, a research question can be framed as :
What is the attitude of teenagers towards their peers in school? Unless the question is detailed well, the answer will not meet the expectations of the researcher.
