Answer: A. Because they contained controversial political views.

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift (1667 – 1745) was a famous Anglo-Irish writer and satirist. At the time he wrote, however, his satires were published anonymously.

As both<em> "Gulliver's Travels" </em>and<em> "A Modest Proposal" </em>contained controversial  political views, Swift wanted to protect himself from being attacked by the authorities. In the first book, he criticizes the English society and its leaders, while the latter is essentially a satire that points out the differences between the rich in England and the poor in Ireland. Swift even ironically proposes selling children as meat as a solution to poverty, which was an idea criticized by many.
