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.
Answer:
The statement which is best supported by text evidence from the excerpt is:
A. Heating was a generally known means of reading invisible ink.
Explanation:
<u>According to the excerpt, James Jay's invisible ink would "elude the generally known means of detection." What was that means? Heating, as is stated right before the sentence. Heating was so well know that Jay was sure the enemy would try to use it to reveal the writings in the messages. However, his new ink would not appear with heating. It needed another chemical to be made visible.</u>
We can easily eliminate the other options. The excerpt does not give us enough information to infer that Jay was seen as a hero. At no point does the passage lead us to understand that the British also had access to the ink. Finally, the excerpt does not at all say that Washington helped develop the new invisible ink.
Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
Well known in London social and literary circles during his lifetime, Sancho achieved lasting fame with the posthumous publication of his Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, an African. The 158 letters collected in this volume cover a wide range of subjects—including literature, politics, and race—and offer Sancho's unique perspective as a former slave and one of the only middle-class Black men living in eighteenth-century London. Sancho's letters also reveal him to be a man of generosity, warmth, and humor who enjoyed the company of friends from many different stations in life. In his own day, Sancho was thought of as “the extraordinary Negro,” and to eighteenth-century British opponents of the slave trade he became a symbol of the humanity of Africans, something that at the time was disputed by many.
