The purpose of the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" is to shame the greedy people who contributed to Ireland’s poverty instead of trying to help eradicate it.

<h3>What is purpose?</h3>

Purpose refers to an author's goal, that is, what he wants to accomplish through his writing. In the excerpt from Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" that we are analyzing here, the purpose is to shame those who contributed to Ireland's poverty.

The excerpt particularly mentions landlords and tax absentees as Swift criticizes the practices of the wealthy. What the author means is that the extreme poverty in Ireland is caused by the exploitation of the poor by the rich.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer. Swift is shaming the greedy people who made Ireland poor.

The complete question is attached below.
