I need help with this’ll question help please

Sarah is having a tip-of-the tongue experience with the name of an indian restaurant that recently received a great review. she suspects that it may start with a “k” sound and consist of two syllables, but all that comes to mind is canton or ccouscous. which of the following choices would be the most likely name of the restaurant?

Which words best describes the speakers?

What if the author had used “looked at” instead? punishment would be deemphasized. punishments would be seen as less harsh. the meaning wouldn't change.
