Lisette had perfected the art of poor baking. However, her sweet demeanor made it impossible to be honest with her about her
confectionary catastrophes. So, when she brought a basket of fresh-baked brownies to our door, It was a cruel favor.
The underlined figure of speech is
The reader can infer that
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:
B
Explanation:
The narrator feels that lisette should do her more favors

What's in a Name?
Mucus is a great word, not only because it gives name to an important bodily function, but also because it is one of those words that simultaneously makes you feel grossed-out and giggly. Other words for this powerfully important human-health tool include slime and phlegm. Slang words for mucus include boogers and snot. All of these words have the same giggle-power, simply from the combination of consonants and vowels. By the way, mucus is an old word; it's been around since the mid-1600s and has roots back to Latin (mucere, to be moldy or musty) and Greek (myxa, mucus). While you may assume that words like snot and boogers are relatively new slang terms, they are not. Snot dates to 1560 and comes from an Old English word, gesnot, and has the same root as the word snout. The word booger is not quite as old but has been in use since the 1890s.
Which of the following best describes the main organizational structure of "Making the Most of Mucus"? (1 point)
a
Fact by fact
b
Problem-solution
c
Cause and effect
d
Chronological order
Answer:
My BEST guess is A-Fact by fact.
Explanation:
The text talks about what mucus is, and what it is known for.
B-Problem and solution, could not be the answer because there, did not state a problem, nor solution.
C-Cause and effect couldn't be an answer because the text did not state any causes of mucus and the effect upon anything.
D-Chronological order, could 'possibly' be the answer, but in chronological order, there would be step-by-step issues, dates of where, why, and how it, mucus, appeared.
A-Fact by fact, gives information and facts about what mucus is and where it came from and gives you relevant input.
So the best guess that makes more sense is A!
I hoped this makes sense and helped you out some :)

1. What was the role of women in literary life during the 1800's?
Answer:
Prior to the 1850’s, women had little influence in the literary sphere. “Women writers were stereotyped as being brainy, selfish, unladylike, and unattractive,” leaving the role to the “more capable” men of the time.[1] These men, fearful of competition, harshly criticized any woman who tried to impose on their livelihood. Thus, they attached little value to female literary products, claiming the inadequacy to be the result of “their supposed deficiencies as women.”

Time flies by. What type of figurative language is used here? A) Metaphor B) Idiom C) Personification D) Simile
Answer:
I think A) Metaphor may be
Answer:
l will give all the possibility to this options
Explanation:
d.simile
l will keep this option aside because here two drifference elements have to be compared using word either 'as' or 'like' and we can see in this pharse "Time flies by" these words are not used.
a.metaphor
Here comparison is done. The time is compared with a act of quick flying. So there is possibility this may be the answer.
b.idom
here the pharse clearly signify a meaning that time is running quickly. so this also can be included to the option
c.personification
in this case the time is given a lively characteristics of flying. This may be the answer.
so the highest possibility through my assumption and knowledge, it can be metaphor

Gradually, Lynette stopped inviting me over after
school. One day, on my way into the girls' bathroom, 1
overheard Lynette and Shelley Abrams discussing their
after-school plans at Dale's Ice Cream
"This afternoon is going to be so much fun," said
Lynette, "It's going to be you, me, and the rest of the
Fab Thirteens.' Just remember, no twelve-year-olds."
I heard a toilet flush and ecurried into an empty stall,
Their giggles felt like nedes. I heard the sinks running
and knew they were tossing their locks in the mirror.
This couldn't be happe. But I was quickly getting
the picture that it was.
Answer:
C. being left out
Explanation:
The central idea the details in this excerpt best supports is being left out.
From the excerpt, we discover that Lynette stated the no twelve-year old should be invited over after school but only the 'Fab Thirteens'. This gives the reader the idea that the twelve-year olds were left out and were not invited.
Also, the narrator's statement in the first line, "Gradually, Lynette stopped inviting me over after school", clarifies the idea that she was being left out. Then when she overheard Lynette and Shelley's discussion, it dawned on her that twelve-year olds were not not invited and therefore left out.

Answer:
One of Hamlet's themes is uncertainty and complexity in making a decision. This theme is probably the theme that relates to the text shown above.
Explanation:
Hamlet has a lot of trouble deciding to avenge his father's death and kill his uncle. This lack of decision is marked by the uncertainty of Hamlet's actions, as he usually reflects on his actions according to the rational, emotional and ethical conditions that he has. This causes him to fail to decide to do something and to postpone what he has to do, which is to decide to kill his uncle. When Hamlet, being unable to decide, postpones this death, he does so with the free will he has, which allows him to stop thinking.

The Case of Modern Wheat
by Alisa Scerrato
The gluten-free lifestyle has recently become a hot topic in the United States. "Gluten-free" products and advertisements seem to be everywhere. What is this thing called gluten, and why are so many people suddenly cutting it out of their diets when they have been consuming it for years without debate?
Gluten is a general name for protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and triticale. It acts as a glue to help certain foods maintain their shape. Most people think that gluten exists only in bread, baked goods, and cereals, but it is also found in soups, sauces, salad dressings, and many other foods that are less commonly known to be associated with wheat.
Some scientists claim that gluten is a strange protein and inherently difficult for humans to digest. The reason for this is that there has been a change in the way wheat is produced in the United States over the past several years. Modern cultivation of wheat is done in order to boost the protein content. Research has shown that gluten being used in "modern wheat" makes breaking down certain foods hard on the stomach. Some Americans just happen to react more severely than others to gluten. The symptoms of gluten intolerance vary from person to person.
Eating gluten has recently been discovered to contribute to such medical issues as irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis, acne, and depression, just to name a few. Another more serious reaction to the consumption of gluten is referred to as celiac disease. About 2 million people in the United States suffer from this disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disease that interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food. This disease is serious as it can lead to a number of issues including neurological disorders, reduced bone density, and sometimes cancer. Eating in restaurants or in other people’s homes is challenging for people with celiac disease because knowing which foods contain gluten can be difficult. In general, people should educate themselves about the ingredients found in different foods, but people who are particularly sensitive to gluten have to be even more diligent. There are no pharmaceutical cures for gluten intolerance, so some people must manage their gluten intake by being aware and adhering to strict diets.
While celiac disease is the most extreme case, eating a low or no gluten diet can indeed provide health benefits for many people. In fact, many Americans have found that abstaining from gluten has helped improve their lives.

The first statement introduces the concept of gluten and what it is, while the second statement discusses the negative effects that gluten can have on health. Both statements are central to the topic of the passage and provide important information to the reader.

Honestly, there isn't really any inequality in the first place, The average person doesn't care what gender, race, ethnicity, or anything you are, as long as you're a good person. But it's mainly caused by the social construct of angry throughout the last couple of years, not just 2020. Honestly, If you take away social media, things would probably get progressively better and better. I think this because huge social media platforms stretch the truth and make events seem worse than it really is.
