Answer: The correct answer is B. to draw attention to an issue that is plaguing his country.

Explanation: Swift's book is widely one of the greatest examples of sustained irony in the history of the English language. Much of its shock value derives from the fact that the first portion of the essay describes the predicament of starving beggars in Ireland, so that the reader is unprepared for the surprise of Swift's solution when he states: "A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout."

blondinia [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is: "I wanted to go with what I felt was the correct answer, and trust myself, and that's  what I did, Graham said." (Paragraph 14)

Explanation:

The sentence from Paragraph 14, where Graham wants to go with that he feels is the correct answer, and trust himself supports the idea that some people can resist the fear of standing alone.
