Both the coal and the petroleum are fossil fuels, and both of them produce lot of energy when burned or through combustion. They have their positives and negatives.

The coal is primarily extracted on land, so it easier to get to. As a positive is that the coal produces a lot of energy, thus it is capable to run the industry without any problem, until there are reserves that is. On the other hand, the extraction of coal is damaging the environment in the surrounding area, and it is also the fossil fuel that releases the most carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, thus it is a very heavy polluter.

The petroleum is primarily extracted from the sea, so it is harder to get to. As a positive is that the petroleum releases a lot of energy, it is easy for usage, and it is very efficient, so it is capable of running the industry until there are reserves of it. A negative from the petroleum is that its extraction is badly damaging the environment in the seas, and it also causes lot of pollution (though much less than the coal) to the air when burned. Another negative thing are the spills of it, as once it gets spilled into the water or on land, it manages to kill off pretty much everything alive.

Answer:1.At that time, Ireland was in social conditions of overpopulation and uncontrolled poverty. These major issues in the economy of the country prompted Swift to write this satiric proposal.

2.A modern audience would become skeptical in a way that they will see this as an exaggerated means for a solution. However, they will also see the sense of it as they will compare it to the modern era of economic inconsistency and incapability.

3.The fourth could be considered the most sardonic as it greatly hits parents who cannot control themselves from reproducing but cannot produce a life for their child

4.The fourth could be considered the most sardonic as it greatly hits parents who cannot control themselves from reproducing but cannot produce a life for their child

5.Swift's purpose of using a provocative approach is to provoke and evoke emotions and in the process, elicit proper and feasible solutions from the audience.

6.Personally, I don't see it as as Swift's own belief but as his way of enlightening the audience on what is truly happening with women and families.

7.The word "proposal" is very catchy in a way that people always wanted to seek for solutions and ways to answer to a problem but are often tired and lazy to have their own ideas.

8.Swift hoped to bring about awareness and ignite the people to not just observe, but also take the necessary action to make their society a better place to live in.
