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.
What tone is this?(sad, happy,hopeful, evasive, calm,hollow,forcefule,lonely,afraid,confident,etc.)

Answer:
Hopeful.
Explanation:
Diana Garcia's poem "On Leaving" is part of her "On Leaving | On Staying Behind" where she talks of escaping to the border. The escape journey by train would be the main focus of the short poem where she talks about how to be safe throughout the journey.
In the given lines, she talks of how her cousins had told her about<em> "those wearing yellow"</em>, people from their village. Such men with yellow bandanas are safe and would be there to help her for <em>"they speak our language, they are known to our village."</em> This presents a hopeful tone to the speaker, for it signifies her safety and that of her cousins who are with her.
