Answer:

<em>"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."</em>

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 <em>proposal</em> 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.
