Answer:

B). Many Irish people are too poor to feed their children.

Explanation:

'A Modest Proposal' is one of the most admired and acknowledged satires of Swift which primarily intends to portray the reality of extreme prevailing poverty in Ireland and critique England's constant legal as well as economic exploitation of Irish people by using parody and exaggeration along with irony and absurdity.

As per the question, the key issue that Swift highlights in the very opening paragraph of the essay is 'several Irish people suffering even to feed their children.' He exposes the <u>chronic poverty that Irish people were undergoing which was a consequence of the relentless pursuit of power and wealth by English hypocrites</u>. He satirizes how these wealthy monsters have utterly exploited these poor people(and their resources) that they are not even left with food to feed their little children. Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

Answer: I dwell in possibility by Emily Dickinson:

I dwell in Possibility –

A fairer House than Prose –

More numerous of Windows –

Superior – for Doors –

Of Chambers as the Cedars –

Impregnable of eye –

And for an everlasting Roof

The Gambrels of the Sky –

Of Visitors – the fairest –

For Occupation – This –

The spreading wide my narrow Hands

To gather Paradise –

Do not go gentle into that good night by Dylan Thomas:

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
