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.

How important is conflict or problem in a story? Which story had the most intense or developed conflict to you?
Reika [66]

Conflict is the base of the story. Without conflict, the story has no plot, the characters don't experience anything, and there isn't really any developments at all. As for the second question, I think that's your own opinion.

Making concepts real and in quick succession ensures that the design activities will be fast and focused. True or False
ELEN [110]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The making of concepts real and in quick succession by no means is capable of ensuring the fast and focused action of the design activities. Just because the beginning is fast and quick can't render the same impulse on the outcome. It all depends on the efficiency of the people working on it and it have nothing to do with the way the plans are made.
