The title "A Modest Proposal" tells the reader that the piece is satirical because the author's proposal is actually extreme and violent, not gentle as the title says. The correct answer of the question would be option C. When we say satirical, this means that it has the intention of criticizing in a humorous way.

The correct answer is C. The author’s proposal is actually extreme and violent, not gentle as the title says.

Satire, similar to irony, is achieved when you are trying to mock something or someone, usually by exaggerating and writing the opposite of what is expected. So, the title A Modest Proposal is not modest by any means - Swift wrote in this text that poor people should sell their children to rich people as food in order to keep the economy going. You can clearly see how the title is satirical then.

c. belong to nature.

Explanation:

In this poem, the author describes the feeling that people have sometimes when they think they can control nature. She tells us that people tend to say "I own this," and they feel superior to nature. She warns us about this feeling. She tells us that humans can never "own" or "control" anything. They cannot even "find" nature. It is the other way around, because humans ultimately are part of nature and belong to it.
