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.

Which excerpt from John Updike's "The Brown Chest" includes a historical reference for the story?

bogdanovich [222]

The chest, on that day of moving, had been set in the new attic, which was smaller than the other, and less frightening, perhaps because gaps in the cedar-shingled roof let dabs of daylight in. When the roof was being repaired, the whole space was thrown open to the weather. This is the answer.

Which quotation from Scene 1 best states one of the play's themes?

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The answer is C)

"Unnatural deeds/Do breed unnatural troubles." (lines 61-62)

Explanation:

Macbeth is the story of a nobleman from Scotland by name Macbeth who plots (with his wife) to eliminate their king (King Duncan) to fulfill their desire for Macbeth to be king.

The story also captures the repercussions that follow.

After the demise of Duncan and his family (save those that escaped) by Macbeth, Lady Macbeth becomes stricken with a heavy heart. Unable to sleep properly due to the guilt of how she and her husband ascended the throne, she starts sleepwalking while confessing indirectly to her evil deeds.

Between lines 30 and 50, the doctor observes this along with another lady. He understands that her mind is troubled. Between lines 50 and 55, the Doctor alludes to the fact that her problem is unnatural and that the cause is as a result of unnatural deeds.

It was unnatural for Macbeth to slay Duncan and his family just because of power. Unnaturally, Lady Macbeth also killed herself.

Cheers!
