Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. read the following excerpt from jonathan swift's essay, "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 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 fricasie, or a ragoust. i do therefore humbly offer it to publick consideration, that of the hundred and twenty thousand children, already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed, whereof only one fourth part to be males; which is more than we allow to sheep, black cattle, or swine, and my reason is, that these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore, one male will be sufficient to serve four females. that the remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in sale to the persons of quality and fortune, through the kingdom, always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump, and fat for a good table. a child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter. i have reckoned upon a medium, that a child just born will weigh 12 pounds, and in a solar year, if tolerably nursed, encreaseth to 28 pounds. i 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. jonathan swift uses (a. optimistic b. gentle c. satirical d. nostalgic) tone to ( e. grab the readers attention f. to remind people of their childhood g. discuss issues related to shortage of food h. to present the heirarchy of american society ).

C. Satirical

G. Discuss issues related to shortage of food.

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift wrote his famous "A Modest Proposal" to criticize and also at the same time satirically propose a plan to combat the overpopulation and poverty problem of Ireland.

In the proposal, Swift talks about using the issue of over population and the resulting shortage of food to feed everyone. He proposes the use of the poor children living in poverty to be the solution for the economic stability of poor people. By fattening the young children and selling their meat to rich people will ensure a steady flow of income for the poor parents. It will also provide a good source of fresh food for the rich. By satirically proposing this, he made his point of discussing the food shortage issue in the society.

explanation:

you didn't give a theme but i did a question like this a while ago so i hope this is what you were looking for.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
