Answer:

The problem that Ireland was facing when Swift wrote "A Modest Proposal" was:

<em>D. Extreme poverty among many families </em>

Explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" is a satirical essay by Jonathan Swift. The essay was written in 1729. Satire is a literary device that consists of using humor, irony or exaggeration in order to convey a message and criticize something. <u><em>Swift proposes that poor Irish families should sell their children as food and clothing to the rich, in order to ease their economic problems.</em></u> Swift aimed to criticize: society's attitude towards the poor and the British policies that were made in order to "eliminate poverty in Ireland."

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

He has been on quests with dwarves and dragons.

Explanation:

Bilbo Baggins is not at all an ordinary hobbit. He is both well-off, accustomed to the comforts of home, and slightly interested in having adventures. However, what really sets him apart from other hobbits is the fact that he has been on quests with dwarves and wizards.

Bilbo's Took relatives were prone to going on adventures, but Bilbo himself had never had to chance and was respected in Hobbiton before his adventures with Gandalf.
