Sometimes spelling reform works in reverse, making spelling less phonetic. The words doubt and debt were borrowed from French as

douse and det (or dette), but a new awareness of their Latin origins led scholars to insert a b in each to reflect their etymologies.

Which is one way that Swift criticizes society in "A Modest Proposal"?
Alik [6]

Answer:

option A. In "A Modest Proposal" Jonathan Swift criticizes society by suggesting that people care so little about children they would be willing to sell and eat them.

Explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by Swift in 1729. In it, the author argues, ironically, that a suitable solution for helping the starving children of Ireland would be to fatten them all and later feed them to the rich Irish land-owners. By suggesting these, Swift is giving the statement that the Irish society, specially the high class of land owners, care so little about the children that they would be more willing to sell them and eat them than to actually help them.
