In this passage, I assume the word in bold is "sighs." So the correct answer will be D. Sadness and a broken heart.
Connotation refers to the underlying meaning of a word. It is not the literal meaning. In this passage, the word "sigh" was used not literally but to express sadness and a broken heart.
I think the answer would be false
The answer is: A. The wealthy take enormous advantage of the poor.
In the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal," Jonathan Swift makes use of irony and suggests cooking children to improve Ireland's economy and decrease overpopulation. Actually, Swift intends to urge wealthy landowners to take action, since he believes they are reponsible for depriving the poor Irish people of positive human qualities.
The authors purpose is what the author wants the reader to understand. That’s the purpose why the author wrote what he/she wrote. I hope that makes sense!!
