First of all I would like to describe what irony is, this techtique is employed by authors who what to expose and criticize corruption or any other topic (individual or social) by using exaggerations it is not to make people laugh but to warn people about something Swift used irony in those lines to show he incompetence of Ireland's politicians and how tyranny they could be.

The author Illustrates how the political system of Ireland works (only serving the Wealthy at the expense of the masses)

This question is missing the options. I've found the options online, and they are as follows:

[...] Which statement most accurately explains the structure of this passage?

A. The author builds up to the most important idea in the story, which is that the bean lives.

B. The author uses chronological order to show the history of the bean's experiences.

C. The author uses cause and effect to show that the tailor's repair causes the bean to have a black line.

D. The author uses problem and solution to show how the tailor solves the bean's problem of having exploded.

Answer:

The statement that best explains the structure of the passage is:

C. The author uses cause and effect to show that the tailor's repair causes the bean to have a black line.

Explanation:

We must read the full passage before we can choose the best answer. We might be tempted to choose the option that speaks of chronological order, since the author does use it to build the story in the proper sequence.<u> It is only in the end that we get to see the purpose of the passage. When the author says, "The bean thanked him most prettily, but as the tailor used black thread, all beans since then have a black seam," it is revealed that the passage is actually telling us the cause behind the black spot every bean has. The cause is the black thread used by the tailor to mend a bean that had exploded. The effect is the black spot itself. Therefore, the best option is letter C.</u>

The correct option is: by using short, punchy phrases.

Explanation

In this case, the writer (Lewis Carroll), uses a sentence structure that is short with punchy phrases to speed up the pace of the writing, instead of using long sentences.
