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.

Erica is almost finished with her book she is reached the falling action of the story what happenes to the conflict in
Ainat [17]

The falling action is the section of the story that is right after the climax (or rising action) end, and before the very end of the story. During the falling action, Erika may find that the tensions experimented in the conflicts of the previous section is now decreasing, the characters may be more relaxed or relief, probably displaying a trait or new insight that they have acquired along the story or might find themselves processing what just happened in the climax.

However, although this section usually de-escalates the conflict, it might introduce a new conflict or a plot twist. Authors tend to do this when they intend to keep the interest in the readers and add suspense for the next upcoming story.
