Answer:
option A. In "A Modest Proposal" Jonathan Swift criticizes society by suggesting that people care so little about children they would be willing to sell and eat them.
Explanation:
"A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by Swift in 1729. In it, the author argues, ironically, that a suitable solution for helping the starving children of Ireland would be to fatten them all and later feed them to the rich Irish land-owners. By suggesting these, Swift is giving the statement that the Irish society, specially the high class of land owners, care so little about the children that they would be more willing to sell them and eat them than to actually help them.
Answer:
1. Whom was met by you?
2. To whom was the book given by you? OR Whom was the book given to by you?
3. By who were you called a list?
Explanation:
1. This is more simple. You simply find the verb "meet", determine the tense using the auxiliary verb "did" (past tense); from this you get "met". Then identify the subject ("you"), and string it all together with the passive voice form of questions: object + verb + by + subject, or "Whom was met by you?".
2. For this question, the original active voice question was grammatically wrong: it should be "To whom did you give the book?" or "Whom did you give the book to?" Using the same method mentioned in question 1, you'll get the answer.
3. This is a little different from the other two questions, since it's asking about the identity of the subject, not the object. This means the sentence structure should be similar, but with the subject moved to the start. This could technically be done to all of the questions, but most people use the "object + verb to be + verb + by + subject" form for finding the object.
Anyways, back to the question: the form used should be "by + subject + verb to be + object + verb". This explains the answer.

Literature can be a very effective form of social commentary. Moreover, it can motivate people to change their social reality through an increase of awareness.
When we read a story that resembles our own reality, we are able to gain some perspective because of the distance that we put between the characters and us. It can also highlight aspects of our social situation that we had not noticed before.
A common example is <em>Uncle Tom's Cabin</em>, a novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, which greatly contributed to the social condemnation of slavery. Similarly, George Orwell's novels, such as <em>Animal Farm</em> and <em>1984</em>, have been very relevant in helping people realize the dangers of extremism and totalitarianism.
