The excerpt is the following:
<em>As to our City of Dublin, shambles may be appointed for this purpose, in the most convenient parts of it, and butchers we may be assured will not be wanting; although I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs.</em>
Answer:
He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."
Explanation:
An understatement is a figure of speech that consists of intentionally representing something less important or smaller than it really is. This is what Swift uses when he suggests that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs." The author employs this figure of speech to catch the readers' attention and to criticize Irish society and its attitude toward the condition of poor farmers and laborers who can not feed their children due to the high rent they have to pay to their landowners. In order to improve the poor's economic situation, they'd better sell their children off as food to feed the wealthy.
The author did not limit himself to literal language because he knew that figurative language would give more expressiveness and depth to the text.
As you did not show the text to which your question refers, it is not possible to show the use of figurative language in the text, but it is possible to state the reasons that led the author to use this type of language.
In the question above, we can see that the author made use of the simile, a figure of speech that allows the comparison between two elements, increasing the meaning between them.
This objective is very common in authors who use any type of figurative language in their texts. This is because figurative language can:
- Intensify parts of the text.
- Make the text deeper.
- Show more expressiveness.
- Create more impactful meanings.
- Force the reader's thinking.
- Approach topics with greater delicacy, or more aggressiveness.
It is important to emphasize that figurative language does not have a literal meaning of the words, but something more subjunctive, unlike the literal language.

Answer:
It was told in the present tense to give an illusion of realism. This affected the reaction of some people by making them believe that it was truly happening.
Explanation:
There were two significant changes between the novel and radio adaptation. One was the change of place on which the story took place, in the novel the action was in England while in the Welles´s broadcast happened on United States soil.
The other change, that is about the question asked, was the change of the tense in which the story was told. For the novel, H.G. Wells used the past tense to told a fictional story that had already happened. But in the radio version the tense used was present to be more realistic and persuade the audience that the action was happening on that same time.
I hope this answer helps you.
She does not seem impulsive: she seems to be working steadily towards the goal (defeating the Nazis) (so she is also not unsteady).
I think that the best word to describe her is "resilient" -for example because she went back to work after sustaining an injury.
