In this excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift, which important issue does the writer deal with using a satirical to

ne?
Some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and I have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. But I am not in the least pain upon that matter, because it is very well known, that they are every day dying, and rotting, by cold and famine, and filth, and vermin, as fast as can be reasonably expected. And as to the young labourers, they are now in almost as hopeful a condition. They cannot get work, and consequently pine away from want of nourishment, to a degree, that if at any time they are accidentally hired to common labour, they have not strength to perform it, and thus the country and themselves are happily delivered from the evils to come.

Old, sickly people cannot be hired as laborers because they don't have the physical stamina required for the job.
Old, sickly people and young laborers are useless to the nation because they cannot be productive citizens.
The economy of the nation is burdened by the poor, the old, and the sickly who survive on charity and handouts.
The living conditions of the poor and their lack of employment opportunities are serious concerns for the nation.

I believe that the part that uses the satirical tone is the part that criticizes old, sickly people. Hope this helps!<span />

I think it is the last answer because he points out their conditions, not only their lack of being able to do the jobs they're hired to do.

This is writing that communicates specific information about a particular subject, craft, or occupation.
lapo4ka [179]

There are four different types of writing: expository, persuasive, descriptive and narrative.  While one could say that descriptive could describe a particular subject, craft, or occupation, descriptive writing is more for describing a character, event, or special place.  Persuasive is trying to persuade your audience to think one way, and narrative is used to tell a story.  Expository writing is used to communicate specific information about a particular subject, craft, or occupation.

Rectangle A has a length of 24 meters and a width of 20 meters. Rectangle B has the same area as Rectangle A. The width of Recta
evablogger [386]
To find the area of a rectangle the formula is length times width 

rectangle A = l x w
= 24 x 20 
= 480 
480 is the area of rectangle A 

rectangle B's width is 12 meters less than rectangle A 
since the width of rectangle A is 20 you take 20 and subtract 12

20 - 12 = 8 

the width of rectangle B is 8 

now since the question said that rectangle A and B both have the same area you put 480 into the formula

and since we now have the width of rectangle B we can figure out the length

Area = l x w 

480 = length x 8

480 divided by 8 is 60 

60 is rectangle B's length 

so the answer is b)
