Answer:
D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.
Explanation:
This excerpt is from Jonathan Swift's (1667 – 1745) satirical article "A Modest Proposal" - <em>for preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick.</em>
Option C states almost the same thing as in option D. But option D better explains the situation.
There is also a sharp sense of satire in author's usage of words "fair, cheap and easy". Jonathan Swift's satire is aimed toward government whose policies even in matters of such great importance are economy centered.
The phrases in this excerpt that help to reveal the meaning of the word "blight" are:
The meaning of the term Blight is <em>scourge, whiter, disaste</em>r.
The support of the meaning in the excerpt is "the last bitter hour": the final moments when someone is going to die.
“stern agony, and shroud, and pall": the end of a life using dramatical terms.
"breathless darkness": a kind of disaster that is coming, not to be avoided that paralyzed people.
