Answer:

"Some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed... it is very well known that they are every day dying... as fast as can be reasonably expected."

Explanation:

The above-mentioned phrase is an example of hyperbole taken from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift.

A hyperbole is a rhetoric device used in the writing in an exaggerated manner to point out to something of importance.

In the above lines the Swift in his proposal is emphasizing the suffering of poor in an exaggerated manner. He is bringing the conditions of the poor to attention to his audience by using hyperbole in these lines.

Answer: Relative clause is "that are not registered." It is essential to the meaning of the sentence and, therefore, does not require commas.

Explanation:

A clause that starts with a relative pronoun (who, that, which, whose, where, when) is called a relative clause. The purpose of these clauses is to provide more information about the noun that precedes them. In this case, relative clause "that are not registered" is used to describe the noun "cars." It is essential to the meaning of the sentence, since it tells us which cars in particular will be towed to the nearest impound lot. If a clause provides important information, it is considered essential and does not require commas.
