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. Which statement effectively paraphrases this excerpt using a quotation?

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>".

<u>The options of question is missing, they are as follows:</u>

A. 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.

B. “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,” claims Swift.

C. Since we can incur no danger in disobliging England, Swift believes he has come up with a proposal that will finally solve the issue of overwhelming poverty in England.

D. Swift states that he has “been wearied out for many years with offering vain, idle, visionary thoughts” and almost gave up any hope of ever achieving success of any kind.

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" is a satire written by Jonathan Swift. In this proposal, Swift brings attention to the poverty-stricken state of Irishmen in England.

<u>Swift was an Irish writer, and he proposed many policies to the government for the betterment of the state of prevailing poverty in Ireland. But they were all ignored so he wrote this satirical pamphlet attracting the attention of people to the state of Irish people. </u>

In the given passage, Swift is trying to say that he has come up with an idea to solve the situation of poverty which is of little trouble.

The effective paraphrase statement is option A.
