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:
B). 'Many pilgrims who came to see his Walden house site were outraged by the commercialism.'
Explanation:
Pathos is described as the 'emotional appeal' in which the author attempts to convince the audience to accept and believe their claim by evoking their emotions.
As per the question, the excerpt 'many pilgrims...commercialism' represents the use of pathos or appeal to emotion as it attempts to convince the readers about the 'negative impacts of commercialism' by evoking their emotions by using the descriptive words like 'outraged' and encourage them to 'live a simple life in solitude and unity of nature.' Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
