The correct answer is C) <em>need to balance their home and office lives</em>. As Len Lewis states, modern-day executives must take care of both their personal and professional lives by finding a balance. Moreover, this is shown in paragraph 5:

The false premise in which Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" relies on to build his argument in this passage is that <em>The wealthy will be willing to buy and consume children</em>. Jonathan Swift writes about how Ireland is suffering for being under British rule. How impoverished couples have trouble feeding their children. Mothers have to beg on the streets carrying their children with them. It is also common, to see children begging on the streets. To avoid this, Swift suggests in a satirical way that women should sell their children to rich English landowners, so they can serve them as meals.
