The answer is: A. The wealthy take enormous advantage of the poor.

In the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal," Jonathan Swift makes use of irony and suggests cooking children to improve Ireland's economy and decrease overpopulation. Actually, Swift intends to urge wealthy landowners to take action, since he believes they are reponsible for depriving the poor Irish people of positive human qualities.
