"The R-pe of the Lock" is an example of a Horatian satire. The purpose of Horatian satires is mostly to entertain and mock in a funny way. It focuses on the peculiarities of human behaviour, particularly when these seem nonsensical. It has not desire to provide social criticism or to motivate social change.

On the other hand, "A Modest Proposal" is an example of Juvenalian satire. This type of writing can also be humorous, however, its main objective is to criticize society. It is mostly led by indignation or outrage at a particular injustice. In the case of Swift, the injustice was the treatment of poor Irish people.

How does the use of the word transformed support the claim in this passage?
Lera25 [3.4K]

From the 1750s on, sugar transformed how Europeans ate. Chefs who served the wealthy began to divide meals up. Where sugar had previously been used either as a decoration (as in the wedding feast) or as a spice to flavor all courses, now it was removed from recipes for meat, fish, and vegetables and given its own place—in desserts. Dessert as the extremely sweet end to the meal was invented because so much sugar was available. But the wealthy were not the only ones whose meals were changing. Sugar became a food, a necessity, and the foundation of the diet for England's poorest workers.

It indicates that the addition of sugar was a significant change to Europeans' diets.

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the paragraph that has been shown above, the way the Europeans ate in the 1750s and the change in their way of eating has been talked about. It shows that there has been addition of sugar in their diet.

Earlier sugar was only used as a way of decoration or as a spice to flavor up all the courses. But later the intake of sugar increased a lot in the diet of the Europeans and it became a necessity, it became a food.

navik [9.2K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not include the article or text for reference. However, we can help you comment in general terms.

Fragmentation is notorious for the number of spectators who watch TV or comedy shows. The comparison is between "The Cosby Show" during the 1980s and "Two And A Half Men" in the 2010s.

"The Cosby Show" had an average audience of 30 million. A total success. "Two And A Half Men" had an average audience of 15 million, and for today's standards, it was a success.

Fragmentation has resulted in the diversification of people's tastes, culture, preferences, likes, and dislikes. This has had a direct impact on the numerous shows that have been produced to satisfy every market niche. That is why, today we can see advertisings for many kinds of shows, different audiences, different topics, genres, and situations.
