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.

n200080 [17]

King David (before he became king) was a shepherd boy who tended to his father's sheeps and fought off wolves and other wild animals. He was small and frail looking and was not conscripted in the King Saul's army.

<h3>Who is King David?</h3>

He is the son of Jesse, a descendant of Jesus Christ and an Israelite who according to the Holy Bible was the direct replacement to King Saul whom the Lord God had departed from.

King David rose to prominence after defeating and killing the giant Goliath who had been taunting the children of Israel for many days with a slingshot and some stones.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.
