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."

INFORMATIONAL TEXT from “Of Great Place,” Sir Francis Bacon Gr 12. BOY Read this opening passage from Sir Francis Bacon’s essay

Savatey [412]

Answer:

C). He asserts the contradictions between the reasons people desire "great office" and the actual experience of obtaining and holding such an office.

Explanation:

Bacon in the given passage throws light upon 'the contradictions between the cause for which people desire 'great offices and positions' and the reality of holding such offices.' The people feel they are seeking power and dignity and reducing pains in their life. But the reality is that 'this power and dignity comes at the cost of their liberty and dignity' and 'gaining power over others, they lose the power on their own selves', 'they reach to greater pains from pains.' Thus, this is the enigma that best describes the author's reasoning in this passage and hence, option C is the correct answer.
