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:she changed the direction of his life.
Explanation: Because without her, he could not be the man he is today.

Here’s your answer :-
Q1- In addition to her role as an agricultural goddess, Demeter was often worshiped more generally as a goddess of the earth
Q2- Demophon, in Greek mythology, the son of Celeus, king of Eleusis. According to the Homeric hymn to Demeter, the goddess Demeter, wandering in search of her daughter Persephone, became Demophon’s nurse. As an act of kindness to those who had sheltered her, she attempted to immortalize him by burning out his mortal parts but was surprised in the act by his mother, who thought that she was harming the boy. Incensed, Demeter quickly withdrew the child from the fire, thus leaving him susceptible to death. In another version, related by the mythographer Apollodorus, the surprise resulted in Demophon’s death in the flames. Shortly thereafter Demeter departed from Eleusis. A different Demophon, a son of Theseus, took part with his brother Acamas in the siege of Troy.
Q3- Zeus finally intervened because he noticed that Demeter was not granting a fertile harvest so he wanted the people to get their harvest so he made the plan to allow Persephone to let her see her mother sometimes. Many myths offer a story that explains why things in nature are as they are.
