Smoothies can be a healthy start to your day, and a healthy breakfast can make you feel good about yourself. A yummy blend is soy milk for protein, bananas and blueberries for sweetness, and lots of spinach for fiber and antioxidants. You'll feel as strong as Hercules after such a balanced breakfast, and you'll be proud of yourself and so happy, even if you eat nothing but pizza for the rest of the day!

Which of the following rhetorical devices best contributes to the pathos of this passage?

Allusion, because a healthy meal will make you strong like Hercules
Irony, because fruit is high in sugar and not good for you
Metaphor, because a healthy meal is being compared to pizza
Onomatopoeia, because the word "yummy" sounds happy

PLEASE HELP ME I WILL DO WHATEVER
