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."

Despite centuries of tension, England and Scotland united under one monarchy when Scotland’s James VI became James I of England
bogdanovich [222]

Macbeth is considered by many a critic a Sakespeare's mature tragedy. The play contains a lot of supernatural elements and takes place in Scotland. Indeed, these traits do not appear by chance. It is well known that King James had a fascination for the obscure arts, there is even a book called "Daemonologie" written by the king himself.

The Scottish play, as it was called, begins with witchcraft. The lines where it is said that three "weyrd" sisters "All heil Macbeth, that shall be King hereafter!" (49, 50) reflects Shakespeare's intention to reverence his patron and his interest in the uncanny. It is of importance to mention that the word "weyrd" has its origin in the old English word for fate, which is one of the main themes and motifs in the play. Macbeth is to become king and face his destiny.

Macbeth's skepticism is present when we read in the words of Macbeth orders "Say from whence / You owe this intelligence? Or why / Upon this blasted heath you stop our way" (75-77). There was skepticism for what was to come with the new union. The term United Kingdom comes from there, from the alliance of the nations.

The play, with all its supernatural elements and references to withcraft and nobility, demonstrate respect and honor to the new king, who watched the theatrical representation of the tragedy and found the association to his interest in the dark arts presented in the Globe.

How is science better then phillosophy ? one paragh on it
Yanka [14]
Science is better than philosophy, because philosophy is faced to questions, while science is claimed to be factual evidence. This is supported by the discovery from scientist. Though philosophy is the base, and provides suspicion before experimenting, science is tested, Philosophy isn't.

hope that was the best paragraph you've ever read :]]]]]

Selena had an unexpected surprise when she attempted to duplicate a copy of a culinary dish she learned in culinary school. What
anyanavicka [17]

The best way to rewrite this sentence to avoid duplication is "Selena was surprised when she attempted to duplicate a copy of a dish she learned in culinary school."

A surprise by definition is unexpected, so it's a bit redundant to say an unexpected surprise. Also, saying culinary twice isn't necessary. It is better to just use it to describe the school and from there it can be inferred that the dish is culinary.
