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.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

B. A classical ode was often accompanied by the flute.

Explanation:

Ode is a poetic composition of the lyrical genre that is divided into symmetrical stanzas. The term comes from the Greek word "odés" which means "singing". In Ancient Greece, "ode" was a poem about something sublime composed to be sung individually or in chorus, and with musical accompaniment.

An example of an ode is the country's national anthems, in which the authors pay homage to the homeland and its symbols and are accompanied by musical instruments.
