English

Answer: Swift uses irony when he says the person with whom he discussed his plan is “very worthy” and “a true lover of this country.”

In the excerpt, Swift tells us of his discussion with a man. He describes the man as "very worthy" and "a true lover of his country." However, the man complains about the diminishing number of deer, and his proposed solution is to eat boys and girls between 12 and 14 years of age. Therefore, the description of the man is ironic, as he is not worthy or loving at all.

QveST [7]
<span>Answer: the emphasis of words through a change of pace
 Cadence in poetry refers to the rising and the falling of the voice when reading a literary piece. Simply it comes from the Latin word “cadentia” that means “a falling”, hence the reason for its definition.  In poetry, it refers to the pitch and rhythm of the literary piece.  Cadence also helps in the setting the rhythmic paces of literary pieces. The imperfect and the perfect cadence are the two types of cadence.</span>
