Answer:
C. "He never asked us for anything, nor did he go about begging other people for money."
This text from 'About Russell' best supports the inference that the narrator eventually learns to accept her brother for who he is.
Russell was now a grown up man and was unemployable by the standards of most organisations. The narrator was initially embarrassed when she came to know that her brother was collecting soda bottles from other people's garbage and redeeming them for a nickel a piece. Then her sister Rosalind explained to her that their brother kept his pride intact and never asked them for any help or begged from their acquaintances for money. He did whatever he could to manage his life on his own and always kept quiet about his problems and sufferings.
Answer:
C. It pokes fun at the professed selflessness of people who propose
solutions to society's problems.
Explanation:
One of the proposal described just before this concluding excerpt is selling the poor Irish one year old children to abroad as a source of food. According to the proposer (a narrator and not Jonathan Swift himself), this selling will make Irish people rich. After this proposal the narrator wants to convince readers of his selflessness. This is very satiric and satirizes the professed selflessness of such proposers. The proposer is wanting himself to be believed very sincere after saying that he can not sell his own children, because they are old.
Option A, B and D are not correct. Firstly because the proposal is a satire and the proposer is not Jonathan Swift himself, but just a narrator - a satirized self professed selfless proposer. Secondly as this proposal is a satire, there is no mention of satirizing or poking fun in any of these options.
