Thoreau mostly uses imagery to illustrate time in the excerpt. The second sentence is saying that he is in the midst of time/living, and he can "detect how shallow it is," meaning that he is aware that life is short and that the end is inevitable. Thoreau also describes time as being fleeting, but ever-present.

It suggests a satirical and simple proposal to the problem starving Ireland faced: the lack of food to feed the people.
Of course, the entire modest proposal was that parents eat and sell their children as food and the idea was meant as satire, meaning to be considered with a grain of salt and not seriously (kind of like a really dark joke).
''Modest'' means that the proposal was obvious and simple in the eyes of the author Jonathan Swift but not necessarily in the eyes of others. ''Proposal'' means the general answer to the problem Swift was answering.

Answer:
D. Narrow his focus
Explanation:
In writing a research,a topic has to be selected first. This could be provided by a supervisor or the individual, on a topic he is interested in. After forming a topic, many general questions should be formed. This would provide a wide view from which to assess the topic.
Too many general questions ought to be further narrowed into more specific questions. It is important that the researcher chose a topic on which information could be found easily. This would make it easier for the questions to be easily narrowed and not too broad. He should also avoid open ended questions, that is yes or no questions, so as to make the information more meaningful.
