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) "A Modest Proposal"<em> - A Modest Proposal 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 is also similar to Option D, but option D better explain the situations.
From this excerpt and according to the options provided we can infer that the authors (Jonathan Swift) wants to stress on the importance of helping those children who are burden on their poor parents and country. He wants to say that this would be a real service to the public, and one which should really be appreciated.
In another sense there is also a satire in this piece of the excerpt in the usage and stress on words "fair, cheap and easy". Jonathan Swift is satirizing government's economy-centered policies. Government wants a fair, cheap and easy solution of issues which should be government's priority to solve at every cost. In fact this point of view of satire in this excerpt is more correct than the options provided.

<u>Explanation:</u>
'In a Station of the Metro' is a very precise poem by Ezra Pound which exhibits the characteristics of modernist poetry that include:
- the economic use of language
- a precise image conveyed through an unexpected metaphor
The poet has tried to convey his message in minimum words (merely two lines) by using the metaphorical approach where he has linked the faces in the crowd to the wet, fallen flower petals on a bough.
