Reading the excerpt "Those who are more thrifty (as I must confess the times require) may flea the carcass; the skin of which, artificially dressed, will make admirable gloves for ladies, and summer boots for fine gentlemen."

After reading it, the conclusion is that the false premise in this excerpt is that people would be willing to use the skin of children to make clothing.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

The false premise in this excerpt is that some people are capable and willing to use the skin of poor children to make shoes and gloves.

Explanation:

"A modest proposal" is the text written by Jonathan Swift and is a satire on social inequality and the inability of the richest to empathize with the poorest and the irresponsibility of governments to care for the most needy, but treats them as a problem.

In this text, Swift states that the solution to all this is for poor children to serve as food for the richest, since they are not treated as human beings. He goes further in the section shown in the question above, stating that in addition to serving as food, the skin of these children can be used to make gloves for the ladies and boots for the gentlemen.
