Answer:

Swift’s use of verbal irony.

Explanation:

The fact that Swift uses such a scholarly, formal tone in this excerpt only makes it more clear that he is using verbal irony. Irony refers to the use of devices and circumstances that represent the opposite of what is to be expected. In this case, the subject is extremely horrible (the killing and breeding of children), but the tone is not as desperate and angry as would be expected. Instead, it is calm, collected and scholarly. This is an example of verbal irony.

Answer: lacking strength

Explanation:

The highlighted word is ''frail''.

The definition of frail in relation to a human being is someone who is physically weak and fragile.

In this context therefore, it is logical to assume that the word means that the person being referred to (the mother) is lacking strength. This would make sense because the mother is getting old and people get weaker as they age.
