1. B) The Catholic Population in Poverty.

Swift talks about the Catholic population as the "principal breeders of the nation." This statement serves several purposes. On the one hand, he criticizes the fact that Catholic Irish are poorer and have less opportunities than the Protestant population. On the other hand, this allows Swift to criticize the protestants for their treatment of the Catholic population.

2. D) Criticize protestants who abandoned their country.

In this excerpt, Swift continues to write in a satirical way, just as he has done throughout the text. When Swift refers to the "good Protestants," therefore, he does so in a mocking way. He does not believe that the Protestants are actually "good." In fact, he only refers to them in this way in order to criticize them for abandoning their country.

2pac had a 'net positive' influence
Leni [432]

Answer:

2. He’s the man who single-handedly transformed a common epithet for a criminal into a source of masculine strength.

After recording two albums – the muddled 2Pacalypse Now and the slightly improved Strictly 4 My . – Shakur unveiled his crew  L.I.F.E., an acronym for The Hate U Gave Little Infants Everybody. At the time, it seemed like an unnecessary variation on the “gangster” trope that dominated West Coast rap at the time. However, his reimagining of a word that the Oxford Dictionary defines as “a violent person, especially a criminal” into an positive attribute resonated. 2Pac’s vision redefined the word “thug” into a man who triumphs over systemic and societal obstacles. By the end of 1994, Cleveland quintet B.O.N.E. Enterprises had renamed themselves Bone Thugs-N-Harmony; the word has been since been adopted by Young , Slim and too many others to mention.
