Jackie is writing a speech that claims that students should sell fruit instead of candy for the school fundraiser. In her speech

, Jackie wants to rebut the counterclaim that “students should sell candy like last year.” Which is the best rebuttal that Jackie could use in her speech? I know that we sold candy last year, but we don’t always have to sell candy every year we have a school fundraiser. We could try selling something different this year, like fruit. Last year we sold several thousand dollars worth of candy, and all you students ate that candy, which is probably why you want to sell candy again this year. But I don’t think that’s a good reason. I know a lot of students want to sell candy like last year, but fruit tastes sweet too and is better for us. Isn’t the country trying to encourage healthier eating these days? Last year I sold a lot of candy, just like you did, and we made a lot of money for the school. But I felt guilty selling so much candy to little kids whose teeth would rot and who might have gotten sick from eating all that candy. Don’t kids get enough candy as it is?

Answer:

d. He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift was an English writer, critic and poet who had also greatly written about the political issues of his society and time. The essay "A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by him as a form of critiquing the impoverished nature of the Irish people and their economic troubles.

The excerpt from the essay shows Swift suggesting sarcastically that poor families should produce children and then sell them as meat for the rich. He implies that this will not only give an endless supply of food (meat) for the rich to entertain their guests but also provide a steady source of income for the poor people too. This will enable the balance in the economic situation of the Irish people.

An understatement is the presentation of something that is serious in a far less serious manner. This makes the issue seem less serious or less important. Swift uses an understatement when he stated that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs". Sending children to be killed and eaten as meat is a serious and horrifying thing to do, but he compares it to a simple act of "roasting pigs", thus making it an understatement.
