(D)He is portrayed as a well-known man in his community.

In Midnight assassin the author lets you know how succesfull and well knwon Hosack was, he even ran for office, and in Indicted for Her murder she writes that: <em>"The murdered man was wealthy and influential and had no enemy in the county so far as known.." .</em>

The assasination of Mr Hossack under strange circumstances remains a mistery to this day, people on Iowa knew him, and in both the book and the article state that the only person he had problems with, was his wife.

arlik [135]

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.
