Answer:

C. It pokes fun at the professed selflessness of people who propose

solutions to society's problems.

Explanation:

One of the proposal described just before this concluding excerpt is selling the poor Irish one year old children to abroad as a source of food. According to the proposer (a narrator and not Jonathan Swift himself), this selling will make Irish people rich. After this proposal the narrator wants to convince readers of his selflessness. This is very satiric and satirizes the professed selflessness of such proposers. The proposer is wanting himself to be believed very sincere after saying that he can not sell his own children, because they are old.

Option A, B and D are not correct. Firstly because the proposal is a satire and the proposer is not Jonathan Swift himself, but just a narrator - a satirized self professed selfless proposer. Secondly as this proposal is a satire, there is no mention of satirizing or poking fun in any of these options.

Please help me and answer this! :(
noname [10]

Here is a base paragraph you can wok off of:

My life style is healthy because I exercise and eat as healthy as I can. I could probably eat more greens to improve my eating habits, and be on devices less though. I am also physically active every day. Something that prevents me from making these changes is lack of motivation because of everything that is going on in the world. To help stick to my goal, I can think of something that will motivate me for example, thinking about how I can become healthier by having better habits. It is sometimes hard to stay motivated, but I try my best.

Please consider giving brainliest, I hope this helps you out love! <3
