Answer:

Answer is Option D: Then as to the females, ſeating children) would, I think, with  humble submission, be a loss to the publick, because they sool

would become breeders themselves.

Explanation:

The main theme of the story "Modest Proposal" is social class. It highlights the difference between the rich and poor Irish. He uses satire to highlight the oppression of the poor.

An understatement is depicting something in a way that it looks less bad or seems less important. In the statement D, the author uses an understatement where he says women eat children and later become their mothers themselves. This is a cruel act of acting children but depicted as understatement that Women become breeders.

Other options are not understatements.

I would go with B, or Ways to build immunity to diseases. Why? Well, just by using the word biology, we can use process of elimination. The prefix “bio” means life, so C and D already would be out. The suffix “ology” means the study of, so the word biology means the study of life. Because biology often has to do with diseases and finding cures to sustain human life spans, the only logical answer would be B. A would make no sense in terms of biology.

My name is Ann [436]

very concerned about appearance

The excerpt describes the grandmother's appearance. She is described as having white gloves, a navy blue dress trimmed with lace, and a sailor hat with a bunch of violets. She is compared to the mother to show that her way of dressing is different than what is required of her visit because the mother is dressed in slacks and has her hair up in a kerchief. It goes on to say that the grandmother would be easily identified as a lady if she was found on the side of the road. This label of being a lady seems to be important and only communicated through appearance.
