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. Swift is proposing a solution to what he had observed and therefore pleaded with the people who can carry out his proposal.

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 statement from the text best shows the author's main claim? A: this would make a difference in our world by reducing green

Hello. You did not show the answer options, nor did you show the text to which the question refers, which prevents me from answering your question exactly. However, I will try to help you by explaining what a main claim is in a text.

Within a text the main claim is the main idea to which the text presents. It is the subject that the text decides to address.

Usually you find the main claim of a text right at the beginning of the text, because the author needs to arrest readers right from the start showing what the text will discuss about and arresting readers who show interest in the type of discussion presented.
