<span>It means the same thing as "dead as a doornail" completely dead. Dumplings aren't alive so they are "dead". So "dead as a dumpling" means to be completely dead, not alive in the slightest. </span>

To be " dead as a dumpling" means that you are very dead. It's an expression that you use to describe something or someone that you know for sure is dead.

arlik [135]

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.

What do the following lines from the play Everyman refer to?
Serga [27]
<span>This play reveals a problem of comparing life and death. The part “the body lieth in clay” messages the reader about how the soul can ‘weep’ after the death because while a person were alive it succumbed to sweetness of several sins. In the last lines, The Messenger tells us that when you are dead, all things that make us happy and shape our personality just goes away and mean nothing. </span>
