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 societal norm against which Scout is having conflict is the notion of propriety for women of the time period.
The reason for this conflict is her tomboyish attitude.
Explanation:
"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a novel written by Harper Lee.
Scout, or Jean Louise Finch. is the narrator of the story. She is a six-year-old girl who lives in Maycomb with her older brother, Jem, and father, Atticus. Scout, as correctly nicknamed, reflects the characteristics of a young girl, who is inquisitive and smart. She conflicts with the societal norms laid for women of the time period. She is having conflict with the notion of propriety for women.
The reason for this conflict is her tomboyish behavior. The story suggests that she is in conflict with this norm because she climbs the tree with Jem and Bill. It is also because her father has kept her away from evil societal norms.

I searched the poem and song lyric and after reading both, Stereo Hear by Gym Class Heroes and A red, Red Rose by Robert Burns, I can compare and contrast this way:
COMPARING
• Both authors use the exaggeration technique to make emphasis on the intensity of their love.
• Both apply a combination of metaphor and simile in their lines.
• Both main characters of the song and poem are men talking to the woman they are in love with.
• Both are focusing on only one woman and not love in general.
CONTRASTING
• Stereo heart compares his heart to a stereo, explaining the way he loves and how nature it is while the Poem, A red red rose describes how he will love his lady till the end.
• Robert Burns in the poem is revealing/saying something to his lady while in the song, the author is mostly asking questions about what the woman will do.
