Answer:

option A. In "A Modest Proposal" Jonathan Swift criticizes society by suggesting that people care so little about children they would be willing to sell and eat them.

Explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by Swift in 1729. In it, the author argues, ironically, that a suitable solution for helping the starving children of Ireland would be to fatten them all and later feed them to the rich Irish land-owners. By suggesting these, Swift is giving the statement that the Irish society, specially the high class of land owners, care so little about the children that they would be more willing to sell them and eat them than to actually help them.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The author in "On his blindness" refers to his blindness.

Explanation:

Jorge Luis Borges, the author of this poem, suffered from blindness and that is what he reflects in this poem.

What he means when he says "it breaks things down into a single thing, colorless, formless" is how he sees things because of blindness, as formless and colorless things.

This poem has a melancholic tone. The blindness that came to Borges in 1955 meant a great change for him, since he was a lover and fond of reading.
