Read this excerpt from Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal": I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts,
which I hope will not be liable to the least objection.
I have been assured by a very knowing American of my
acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well
nursed is at least a year old a most delicious, nourishing,
and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or
boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a
fricassee or a ragout
grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very
proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured
most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the
children.
How does Swift use satire to achieve his purpose?
A. He reveals a solution that should be broadly accepted by
everyone
B. He exaggerates the problems of Ireland to gather support for his
reasonable suggestion
c. He discusses an obvious solution for problema in Ireland to draw
attention to how much people are obsessing over them
D. He suggests an extreme solution to draw attention to a real
problem

(select all that apply.)the war of the worldshe remained standing at the edge of the pit that the thing had made for itself, staring at its strange appearance, astonished chiefly at its unusual shape and colour, and dimly perceiving even then some evidence of design in its arrival. the early morning was wonderfully still, and the sun, just clearing the pine trees towards weybridge, was already warm.they shouted consolation and promises, and went off back to the town again to get . one can imagine them, covered with sand, excited and disordered, running up the little street in the bright sunlight just as the shop folks were taking down their shutters and people were opening their bedroom windows.it was glaringly hot, not a cloud in the sky nor a breath of wind, and the only shadow was that of the few scattered pine trees. the burning heather had been extinguished, but the level ground towards ottershaw was blackened as far as one could see, and still giving off vertical streamers of smoke.an enormous hole had been made by the impact of the projectile, and the sand and gravel had been flung violently in every direction over the heath, forming heaps visible a mile and a half away. the heather was on fire eastward, and a thin blue smoke rose against the dawn.
