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.
"Yes, all those points are true about Shakespeare, but most of them are true of other authors as well" (B) is the comment that best illustrates the technique of drawing comparisons during a discussion.
In this discussion, people were apparently talking about Shakespeare and his work or his life. The speaker who delivered this comment brought up other authors into the conversation, inviting the other speakers to consider a comparison between Shakespeare and these authors. By doing so, the speaker is also giving his opinion on the comparison: he thinks Shakespeare and the other authors are alike in some aspects.

The most favoring option is "C."
Changing the story to a new medium, here, means changing the literary agents and methodology utilized in the original script.
Explanation:
1. "A live ... original script."
This point dismisses any opportunity to create a new perspective or genre as asked in the query. So, this choice is hardly acceptable.
2. "A direct ... language."
This point again dimnishes the chance to produce a new medium for the same story. Moreover, changing the language won't divert the way the original piece is interpreted.
3. "A poem ... his father."
This is certainly a new form that can be opted to produce and present the original plot. Interestingly, it will also appeal to the audience in a entirely different way.
4. "A play .... of view."
This statement is absurd in regards to the requirement of the question.
