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.

How does the passage demonstrate a view that was commonly held during the 1800s? In the 1800s, women were expected to be submiss
sp2606 [1]

In order to answer this question, one must think about the time period.  This is long before women had jobs outside of the home.  They were expected to care for the home and the children, take care of the needs of their husband, and be seen, not heard.  Keeping those characteristics in mind and reading through all the answers, the only logical answer would be the first one: In the 1800s, women were expected to be submissive to men (do what they are told to do by the man), and Nora was discovering that Helmer has taken advantage of that.
