The false premise on which this excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" relies is <em>that a woman would be willing to breed children to sell</em>.

In "A Modest Proposal", Jonathan Swift writes about how Ireland is suffering for being under British rule. He writes about how impoverished couples have trouble feeding their children. Mothers have to beg on the streets carrying their children with them. To avoid this, Swift suggests that women should breastfeed their children till the age of one and then sell them to rich English landowners as food. Swift does not want Irish mother to sell their children, this is a satire in which humor and irony are used.

ozzi

simple, would be the correct answer  

(context) plain means ordinary, primary means first and essential means is always needed.

(more context) even though you should do spell check it shouldn't be first and isn't always needed and part of spell check is to make it so it's not plain
