Answer:

b. Implied metaphor  

Explanation:

An implied metaphor is a metaphor that compares one thing to another without explicitly mentioning to what thing the former is being compared to. We get to know what is the “thing” the former is being compared to due to the description of the former's actions or features. The passage provided uses this literary device when it states that John “flies from person to person.” Here, the author is comparing John to an insect without mentioning the insect.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Swift writes that after much time and effort, he has finally come up with a solution that is “solid and real, of no expence and little trouble” to address the problem of poverty.

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift wrote his political as well as economical proposal "A Modest Proposal" to offer solutions to the ever increasing poverty and increase of children in the streets. in it, he proposes the idea of using the young children as sources of meat as well as income for both the rich and the poor.

Selling the children as meat to the rich will ensure the continual availability of food while it will also procure a steady flow of income for the parents in their effort of bringing the children into the world. The excerpt shows Swift coming upon a whole new proposal, one that "<em>hath something solid and real, of no expence and little trouble, full in our own power, and whereby we can incur no danger in disobliging England</em>". But all this came after he had "<em>been wearied out for many years with offering vain, idle, visionary thoughts, and at length utterly despairing of success</em>". Thus, Swift admits that after so much effort and time, he had finally arrived to a definitive solution for solving the poverty situation of Ireland, a solution that will be "<em>solid and real</em>".
