Answer:

C). The great number of poor people in Ireland.

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift's key purpose behind his essay 'A Modest Proposal' was to highlight the overarching poverty in Ireland and the economic exploitation of the people of Ireland by wealthy English landlords. <u>He satirically critiques the social issue of poverty by offering his 'modest proposal' to the Irish people of selling their children for food which suggests his outragesousness over the issue</u>. His proposal of selling children into the meat market in return for income primarily aims to mock at the fake 'modesty' of Irish people and their submissiveness ton wealthy merchants. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
