The right answer is B. "The speaker places a high value on the item"

In this poem, the speaker is praising the courage of his/her mother and in the second stanza, the speaker tells us how much the golden brooch she left is treasured "I have nothing I treasure more" (meaning it has a high value).

In the third stanza is explained why it is said: "Yet, it is something I could spare.":

"Oh, if instead she'd left to me

The thing she took into the grave!-

That courage like a rock, which she

Has no more need of, and I have. "

The speaker is telling us that more valuable than the brooch would be if the mother gave her courage instead, that is more needed (and she can no longer use it) , the brooch would be easily replaced only by her courage.

In this excerpt from Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal", based upon the context above, the meaning of the underlined word 'repine' is complain.

Swift builds his argument that the wealthy will be willing to buy and consume children. He writes about how Ireland is suffering for being under British rule. How impoverished couples have trouble feeding their children. It is common to see mothers and children begging on the streets. To avoid this, Swift suggests in a satirical way that women should sell their children to rich English landowners, so they will serve them as meals.

Answer:

b) we ought not to transplant baby Theresa's organs because it would involve using her merely as a means.

Explanation:

From section 1.2 of Rachels book which is an attempt to show that the argument we should not use people merely as a means holds true.

Certainly, we ought not to transplant baby Theresa's organs because it would involve using her merely as a means.

The above statement implies, it involves violating baby Theresa's autonomy through manipulation, trickery, deceit, or coercion and when we cannot violate her autonomy in such a way (because she has no autonomy), it may involve violating her interests or preferences.
