Which is one way that Swift criticizes society in "A Modest Proposal"?
by suggesting that people care so little about children they would be willing to sell and eat them
by suggesting that people would be appalled by the idea of selling and eating children
by highlighting the ways in which the plan could help people support people's families
by highlighting all the practical ways in which people have tried to remedy poverty

option A. In "A Modest Proposal" Jonathan Swift criticizes society by suggesting that people care so little about children they would be willing to sell and eat them.

Explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by Swift in 1729. In it, the author argues, ironically, that a suitable solution for helping the starving children of Ireland would be to fatten them all and later feed them to the rich Irish land-owners. By suggesting these, Swift is giving the statement that the Irish society, specially the high class of land owners, care so little about the children that they would be more willing to sell them and eat them than to actually help them.

yes the first one is correct .
