In "A Modest Proposal," Swift tries to be (and succeeds at being) shocking and outrageous in his suggestions and statements. For instance, he suggests that there are individuals in Ireland that would be properly used for food. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

"The R-pe of the Lock" is an example of a Horatian satire. The purpose of Horatian satires is mostly to entertain and mock in a funny way. It focuses on the peculiarities of human behaviour, particularly when these seem nonsensical. It has not desire to provide social criticism or to motivate social change.

On the other hand, "A Modest Proposal" is an example of Juvenalian satire. This type of writing can also be humorous, however, its main objective is to criticize society. It is mostly led by indignation or outrage at a particular injustice. In the case of Swift, the injustice was the treatment of poor Irish people.

Which two sentences in this excerpt from Ernest Shackleton's South/show the author's purpose is to reflect on memories of his ex
Harman [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is all about food and the hardships endured because the people on this exploration were so lacking in a completely balanced diet.

Shackleton is retelling what made the shortage so hard. What did they do about these problems. The point of the passage is to show how difficult their life was and what they had to do to overcome their problems. If that is the intent, then these two sentences might work, but it is hard to separate them from all the rest that could be chosen.

1) In addition there was a little tea, sugar, dried vegetables, and suet.” I sent Hurley and Macklin  to Ocean Camp to bring back the food that we had had to leave there. They returned with quite a good load, including 130 lbs. of dry milk, about  50 lbs. each of dog pemmican and jam, and a few tins of potted meats.

2) We had left, other than reserve sledging rations, about 110 lbs. of pemmican,  including the dog pemmican, and 300 lbs. of flour. “In addition there was a little tea, sugar, dried vegetables, and suet

Note
