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."

Answer:

c) Significance of Freedom.

Explanation:

In his autobiography "Long Walk to Freedom," Nelson Mandela recalls his life of being an African in South Africa fighting for equal rights. The book also details his suffering and that of his people for their freedom.

The given quote shows Mandela talking about freedom and how he began to know the significance of it for not only him, but everyone.

He knows the importance of freedom for his people and would begin to see it as his goal.

Thus, the correct answer is option c.
