Read the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal." Then as to the females, it would, I think, with humble submission, be a loss to the p

ublick, because they soon would become breeders themselves: And besides, it is not improbable that some scrupulous people might be apt to censure such a practice, (although indeed very unjustly) as a little bordering upon cruelty, which, I confess, hath always been with me the strongest objection against any project, how well soever intended. Which statement is an example of understatement in this excerpt? The criticism of the practice would be levied “very unjustly.” Women becoming breeders would be a "loss to the publick."

What theme is best supported by the story the bachelor tells in "The Storyteller”?
lesya692 [45]

In "The Storyteller", by Saki, the theme that is best supported by the story the bachelor tells is <em>Pride comes before a fall.</em>

There are three children with their aunt on a train. They are boisterous. She tries to entertain them with a story about a good girl to whom good things happen. As the children are bored by it the bachelor, who travels in the same train tells them a story about a girl who is "horribly good". She has a lot of medals pinned in her dress and a wolf finds her because her medals make noise. Excessive pride comes before something bad makes you realize that you are not so good.
