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."

Which of the following inferences about Mrs. Song is best supported by the text? ​
Aneli [31]

Hello. You did not indicate the text you are referring to, nor did you enter the answer options, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered. But I will try to help you by showing you how to find inferences supported by the text.

An inference is a conclusion about something, which is drawn from evidence and supporting details that the text exposes. In other words, an inference is a conclusion that you can draw from the interpretation of the text.

In this case, for you to find the inference in the text, you must recognize what the characteristics of Mrs. Song are portrayed in the text. For example, if Mrs. Song is a person who, in the text, is portrayed as someone who is always helping the needy and participating in charity and community events, we can infer that she is a charitable and progressive person.
