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:
The main themes in "The Necklace" are greed, deceptive appearances, and beauty and vanity. Greed: Mathilde Loisel's overwhelming desire to live a life of luxury blinds her to the comforts she already possesses and ultimately leads to her losing what wealth and status she initially has.
Explanation:
To give a successful speech you need to know what you are talking about and you need to support the thing your giving a speech about. You must know all the facts of whatever it is, otherwise, you will look like a fool and your speech will fail. If you are not passionate about the topic you give a speech about you won't be able to express feelings and just simply be stating something, this is not good because speeches are supposed to open people's minds and hearts and if your not passionate about it how could you expect to make someone else care? Lastly, you need practice. Practice, practice, practice. This will help you know how to say your speech, prevent slip ups, and gain confidence.
Those are my tips for giving a successful speech.
Hope it helped. Have great day!
