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.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

I usually get told this is incorrect from the point of view of someone else who has been corrected multiple times in the past. Understandably, if Tammy doesn't like you, you wouldn't tell her.

But, in a perfect world, this is [ideally and probably] the best way. Letting Tammy know "hey, this is how to improve" is better than humiliating her in front of her friends and the teacher and ultimately bringing down her confidence. Direct correction might work better because then she will see her mistakes and be told how to fix them for her future reference.

Remember: Writing is thinking. Writing is literally just translating the words you're thinking into words on a page/computer or other media.

If she [Tammy] is offended, talking to the teacher may be the best way so the teacher can handle it.
