Answer:

An example of satirical literature would be <u>Jonathan Swift's </u><em><u>A Modest Proposal</u></em>

Explanation:

A <u>satirical work </u>uses irony and humor to mock a political or societal situation in an exaggerated manner as a means to criticize it and subtly illustrate the truth.

Jonathan Swift's <u><em>A Modest Proposal</em></u> presents a keen observation of how the poor and Irish had been treated using exaggeration by asking society to consider their infants as consumable cattle. Swift's goal is to provide insight to the readers regarding the real situation.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

I would change the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I. The American President Wilson tried to persuade the allies to be forgiving, but his European counterparts instead stuck it to the defeated, especially Germany, demanding huge reparations that impoverished them and created the conditions for fascism to triumph. The vengeful allies of World War I created Hitler, and if I could, I would change their minds so that Hitler and his Nazis never had the chance to come to power; they would have remained a far-right fringe group in a rebuilt and prosperous Germany.

Answer:I managed to find the complete exercise on the Internet, given that you haven't provided us with all options given to you. 

1. cogitating = contemplating

To cogitate means to think about something (cogito in Latin literally means 'to think). Contemplating means to mull over a couple (or a lot) of options which is what Mr. Gamefield is doing in the excerpt above - he is thinking of ways to pay his rent.

2. cudgeling = beating

A cudgel is a short stick which you can use as a weapon. So if you cudgel something or someone, it means that you are beating them with a cudgel, because it is a thick stick, almost like a bat. So this person was metaphorically cudgeling his brain, but literally cudgeling his donkey.

3. regaled = rewarded

The verb to regale has two meanings - it can either mean 'to entertain someone,' or it can mean 'to supply someone with something.' Here, the latter meaning is used - the donkey thought he would be given a cabbage-stalk or two for his hard work
