Read the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal." But, as to my self, having been wearied out for many years with offering vain, idle,

visionary thoughts, and at length utterly despairing of success, I fortunately fell upon this proposal, which, as it is wholly new, so it hath something solid and real, of no expence and little trouble, full in our own power, and whereby we can incur no danger in disobliging England.

Answer:

Swift writes that after much time and effort, he has finally come up with a solution that is “solid and real, of no expence and little trouble” to address the problem of poverty.

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift wrote his political as well as economical proposal "A Modest Proposal" to offer solutions to the ever increasing poverty and increase of children in the streets. in it, he proposes the idea of using the young children as sources of meat as well as income for both the rich and the poor.

Selling the children as meat to the rich will ensure the continual availability of food while it will also procure a steady flow of income for the parents in their effort of bringing the children into the world. The excerpt shows Swift coming upon a whole new proposal, one that "<em>hath something solid and real, of no expence and little trouble, full in our own power, and whereby we can incur no danger in disobliging England</em>". But all this came after he had "<em>been wearied out for many years with offering vain, idle, visionary thoughts, and at length utterly despairing of success</em>". Thus, Swift admits that after so much effort and time, he had finally arrived to a definitive solution for solving the poverty situation of Ireland, a solution that will be "<em>solid and real</em>".

Which details reveal the setting of the passage? Check
leonid [27]

Answer:

"the north and the west are good hunting ground"

"it is forbidden to go east"

"it is there that there are the ashes of the Great Burning"

Explanation:

The excerpt from "By the Waters of Babylon"(short story) by Stephen Vincent Benet narrates John's journey to New York who is a young man initiated into the priesthood. The story occurs in a post-technological world where the priests scavenge the "dead places" for metal where John discovers the ruins and finds the technologies that he wishes to bring back to their people. Thus, the above details best compliment the setting of the passage i.e. post-apocalyptic.
