Answer:

Criticism of society.

Verbal irony.

Humour and ridicule.

Explanation:

These are the characteristics that make <em>A Modest Proposal</em> a satire. A satire is a text that highlights the vices and follies of a particular entity through mockery and ridicule. Most of the time, this is done in order to encourage social change. In the text, Swift criticizes society by mocking how much importance people give to money and status. He also criticized the treatment of the Irish people by the English. Swift uses verbal irony constantly, by stating things that are in fact the complete opposite of what he means. Finally, he uses humour and ridicule by giving outrageous and ludicrous proposals that highlight the injustices of society.

Item.
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because it correctly employs the comma to separate the prepositional phrase at the beginning of the sentences with the remaining part of the sentence.

The comma is necessary because without it the word time could potentially belong to the phrase if we were teenagers or to these licenses. The comma creates a needed pause in the sentence that allows the reader to oriente him/herself and keep the elements in context.
