The Beat Generation was a literary movement started by a group of authors. It started in post war era of 1950's. They explored and influence American culture and politics.

Options A, B, D, and E are incorrect because they had no direct objection with these aspects of the society.
The theme of the poem "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" by William Carlos Williams is exactly that, the Fall of Icarus. This theme was explored many times throughout many major works, however here it is explored as a background image, not noticed by hardworking people in the sun. Icarus falls and drowns, and nobody bats an eye.
It suggests a satirical and simple proposal to the problem starving Ireland faced: the lack of food to feed the people.
Of course, the entire modest proposal was that parents eat and sell their children as food and the idea was meant as satire, meaning to be considered with a grain of salt and not seriously (kind of like a really dark joke).
''Modest'' means that the proposal was obvious and simple in the eyes of the author Jonathan Swift but not necessarily in the eyes of others. ''Proposal'' means the general answer to the problem Swift was answering.
Hope this helps! :)
