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.

Based on what you have read, what can you infer about the relationship between advertising and the price you pay for a product a
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

From the article, it is seen that advertising can influence the price of commodities negatively or positively. Negatively, critics believe that "consumers must pay for the cost of advertising in the form of higher prices for goods" ("Advertising," 2012). Opponents of this believe hold that the 'massive audience captured through advertising can bring down the price of goods' ("Advertising," 2012).

Explanation:

In-text citation of quotes and the paraphrase of important points found in encyclopedias without an author, require stating the title of the article, encasing it in quotes and a bracket as well as inputting the year when the article was written.

In the case of the text above that is an Encyclopedia Britannica article without an author, the title of the article was first stated and then this was followed by the year it was published. The same rule was followed for the paraphrase of important points.

Tribute to the Dog
Julli [10]

Answer:

Figurative language is one of the most important elements of any literary texts. It's like the spice and seasoning of a dish, it gives taste to it.

"A Tribute to a Dog" is a speech made by Senator George Graham Vest as his closing argument for his client's dog shot and killed by his neighbor. Some examples of the figurative language used in the text are the following:

  - He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side. (Personification)

  - The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.  (Personification)

  - A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness (Hyperbole)

  - He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. (Metaphor)

  - He is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey to the heavens. (Simile)

These are just a few of the figurative languages used in the text, there' still more.  But these ones give more impact to the whole text. It makes it more convincing and meaningful. For sure because of this speech, his side won the case.
