This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these children sound useful members of the common-wealth, would deserve so well of the publick as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation. Based on this satirical excerpt, what is most likely to be true about the author? A. He doesn't think statues are the proper way to honor people the public admires. B. He believes the public is not giving him the honors he has earned. C. He feels the public doesn't always honor the right people. D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.

Answer:

What is most likely true about the author is:

D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.

Explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" was published by author Jonathan Swift in 1729, anonymously. It is now a famous example of satire, especially because Swift was able to write an absurdity with seriousness. It turns out that<u> Swift is ironically suggesting a solution to make the children of the poor useful to the rich. He defends the idea that poor parents should begin to sell their children as food to the rich. </u>He offers logical explanations for that suggestion, and even provides them with ideas as to how to cook the kids.

<u>In the excerpt we are analyzing here, he says anyone who can come up with such a good idea deserves a statue honoring him. Since the whole Proposal is a satire, we can infer that Swift is actually criticizing those who do get statues. He most likely thinks they do not deserve being honored at all, especially if their contributions to society include oppressing others.</u>

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

i think he is greatest because

Explanation:

Shakespeare's greatest contribution to literature would probably be the variety of material that he produced during his lifetime. He wrote histories, such as Julius Caesar. He wrote love stories, most famously Romeo and Juliet. He also wrote comedies such as The Taming of the Shrew. His poetry is often quoted as well as lines from his plays. He single-handedly invented new words for the English language such as "assassination." His characters are quite believable and have been analyzed by critics ever since the plays were first produced. Shakespeare wrote at a time when plays were quite popular in England and he gave the viewing public what they wanted, whether they were the rich with good views or groundlings who could not afford good seats. Even in today's entertainment industry it is hard to create something that appeals to such a large group of people. Shakespeare's work is timeless and has been adapted to stage, screen, and even radio.
