VashaNatasha [74]3 years ago
4 0

The tone is of <u>strong disapproval.</u>

Explanation:

The passage here presents multiple instances of disapproval of Countess Olenska's behavior

  • <u>the narrator calls her a compromised woman</u>, essentially, one of a loose character.
  • <u>questions her going outside in the' shopping hour</u>', that is, when she has a chance of meeting men outside.
  • <u>her absence when the betrothed couple comes is presented as a relief.</u> She is either ill mannered or her family is ashamed of having her around.

It is evident that the Countess here is being judged on impossible standards.

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.
