Answer:

D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.

Explanation:

This excerpt is from Jonathan Swift's (1667 – 1745) satirical article "A Modest Proposal" - <em>for preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick.</em>

Option C states almost the same thing as in option D. But option D better explains the situation.

There is also a sharp sense of satire in author's usage of words "fair, cheap and easy". Jonathan Swift's satire is aimed toward government whose policies even in matters of such great importance are economy centered.

Explanation:

The evidence she provides is that her brother´s doctor has estimated Bob´s biological age at 35. She further supports her claim saying that "he´s still climbing big mountains in the Himalayas," which is a monumental physical effort.
