Question

Read the sentence.

My sister is quite the chef; she often creates her own meals and recipes that include different vegetables and spices.

Why does the author most likely use the word chef instead of the word cook?

to show how often she prepares meals
to emphasize how creative her meals are
to create a negative view of her recipes
to highlight the number of ingredients in her recipes

Answer 1

to emphasize how creative her meals are

"Chef" implies skill and creativity, whereas "cook" is more neutral. The sentence stresses that she creates her own recipes with varied vegetables and spices.
