A)The internet is one place people can speak their minds without fear.
D)It is impossible to know whether the people we entrust with the job of judging online content will act in our best interests.
These both support Hannah's claim about allowing free speech on the internet so that protection does not turn into censorship. Option A supports the idea that the internet is a place where people can speak their minds. Option D explains why giving people the task of judging online content is problematic. The other two options are in favor of allowing certain safeguards that would limit free speech on the internet. These are counterclaims that Hannah needs to address in her argument but to show why they are weak not as support for her claim.
C. The author comes to various outlandish conclusions that lead the reader to question his credibility.
Answer:
Do you have a picture of the paragraph?
I think its d, not an English major though.
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.
