Read the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift. Which part of the text indicates that the landlords were known to e

xploit their tenants in eighteenth-century Ireland?
I have already computed the charge of nursing a beggar's child (in which list I reckon all cottagers, labourers, and four-fifths of the farmers) to be about two shillings per annum, rags included; and [I believe no gentleman would repine to give ten shillings for the carcass of a good fat child,] which, as I have said, will make four dishes of excellent nutritive meat, when he hath only some particular friend, or his own family to dine with him. [Thus the squire will learn to be a good landlord, and grow popular among his tenants,] the mother will have eight shillings neat profit, and be fit for work till she produces another child.

Those who are more thrifty (as I must confess the times require) may flea the carcass; [the skin of which, artificially dressed, will make admirable gloves for ladies, and summer boots for fine gentlemen.]

[As to our City of Dublin, shambles may be appointed for this purpose, in the most convenient parts of it,] and butchers we may be assured will not be wanting; [although I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs.]

Options are in brackets, you may only pick one.
