The tone of the essay "A Modest Proposal" on a literal level is observant and objective. Throughout the essay, Swift shows the readers what he had observe of the poor people in an objective manner. Hence the observant and objective tone. In a satirical level, it denotes a pleading tone.

The tone of "A Modest Proposal" is Shocking. Even the literal statements are shocking in that there are so many poor and hungry children. But then it's also shocking at the satirical level because of his proposed solution of killing and eating the children and going so far to make it appear like a valid idea , with calculations of how much money could be made.

Which is an abstract noun.<br> THE CHOIR SANG IN HARMONY.

An abstract noun is a noun that you can't feel, hear, taste, smell, and see. Like hope. A concrete noun is a noun that you CAN feel, hear, taste, smell, and see.

So the abstract noun in this sentence is not choir, but harmony.
