The false premise in which Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" relies on to build his argument in this passage is that <em>The wealthy will be willing to buy and consume children</em>. Jonathan Swift writes about how Ireland is suffering for being under British rule. How impoverished couples have trouble feeding their children. Mothers have to beg on the streets carrying their children with them. It is also common, to see children begging on the streets. To avoid this, Swift suggests in a satirical way that women should sell their children to rich English landowners, so they can serve them as meals.
The answer for that question would be B.<span>Both excerpts attempt to persuade Queen Elizabeth's audience that she is willing to sacrifice her life for England's well-being.</span>
Answer:
Increasing the space mission efforts
Explanation:
United States President John F. Kennedy's Rice Stadium Moon speech (September 12, 1962) was exclusively to persuade the American people to support the the efforts of space mission, and to land a man on the moon.
During the visit John Glen (who had already orbited the earth on February 20, 1962) was was also with the President, hence, the speech was certainly not about launching John Glen in the Atlas.
This scene comes at the end of the play, as all has been revealed. In this scene,
Sebastian says: "<span>So comes it, lady, you have been mistook." By this he means that Olivia has been mistaken, or wrong. He continues, "But nature to her bias drew in that." By this he means, nature has fixed your error and made it right.
He explains, "You would have been contracted to a maid," meaning that Olivia would have married a maiden, or a young woman. However, he continues by saying, "Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived; You are betroth'd both to a maid and man." He means that Olivia is not entirely deceived, or not entirely wrong. He says that Olivia married both a young woman AND a young man. He does not mean this literally, of course, since that isn't quite what happened. Instead, he means that the love Olivia had for Sebastian's sister has been transferred into a love for him. And, since he is still a virgin, he is a "maiden" as well as a man.</span>
Now, let's look at the statements:
<span>Sebastian explains that the case of mistaken identity has worked in Olivia’s favor because she has married Sebastian, not Viola.
-- This statement best summarizes Sebastian's words to Olivia.
Sebastian says that Olivia has mistakenly married a woman instead of a man, which goes against the "bias" of nature.
-- Olivia has not mistakenly married a woman; therefore, this statement would not be correct.
Sebastian is mocking Olivia because she married someone without really knowing that person's identity.
-- Sebastian is not mocking Olivia at all; instead, he is trying to explain how Olivia's mistake worked in their favor after all.
Sebastian is congratulating Olivia for marrying a great man and hiring a maid to help with her household.
-- Olivia has not married a maid to help with her household; this statement as a result is not correct.
Sebastian is unwilling to get married and tells Olivia that it would be a mistake to expect him to do so.
</span>-- This is not at all what he is saying, as he is in love with Olivia; this statement would not be correct.
