A- My dog was unable to relocate it's buried bone.
Hope this helps!
I would say D. because all of the others are basically answering the entirety of the speech. If you would discuss ways to increase the literacy rates in the U.S. you would need to go over it last after you explain why the U.S. is so illiterate.
B. Macro
*micro = small
*mal = bad
Hi there!
The sentence that would need a semicolon is the first sentence, Jerry loves tennis he plays everyday. Here's the corrected sentence: Jerry loves tennis; he plays everyday. The semicolon separates the two ideas in this sentence. Since this is the only sentence that has two ideas in it, this sentence needs a semicolon. (I hope this explanation is okay, and you understand what I'm trying to say!)
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
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.
