Answer:
C. It pokes fun at the professed selflessness of people who propose
solutions to society's problems.
Explanation:
One of the proposal described just before this concluding excerpt is selling the poor Irish one year old children to abroad as a source of food. According to the proposer (a narrator and not Jonathan Swift himself), this selling will make Irish people rich. After this proposal the narrator wants to convince readers of his selflessness. This is very satiric and satirizes the professed selflessness of such proposers. The proposer is wanting himself to be believed very sincere after saying that he can not sell his own children, because they are old.
Option A, B and D are not correct. Firstly because the proposal is a satire and the proposer is not Jonathan Swift himself, but just a narrator - a satirized self professed selfless proposer. Secondly as this proposal is a satire, there is no mention of satirizing or poking fun in any of these options.
Answer:
there u go
Explanation:
Curtains forcing their will
against the wind,
children sleep,
exchanging dreams with
seraphim. The city
drags itself awake on
subway straps; and
I, an alarm, awake as a
rumor of war
lie stretching into dawn
unasked and unheeded.
Answer and Explanation:
Barry Lopez in his essay describes the need to pay deep attention to our local geography/place for these reasons:
Developing intimacy with the place and ridding self of assumptions
Yes I agree with Lopez. A sense of place here means establishing a deep connection with our geography. In this sense, we are able to communicate with the place, be vulnerable and therefore intimate with the place, and not just a spatial sense of our physical environment. In doing this we gain deeper understanding of the landscape through communication and not impose through assumptions.
