Why did swift title his work"a modest proposal"?

The reason why Swift titled his work "A Modest Proposal" is because it uses satire, which is the type of writing that defines the whole text. The title is not meant to be taken seriously, but instead, it is meant to be a joke. "Modest" is something that is not very ambitious. Swift implies that his suggestion is not difficult or revolutionary and that it can be easily implemented. Eating children, however, is the complete opposite of this.

i think its "Its irony helps the reader understand that such an idea is not acceptable and isn't meant to be taken seriously."

Explanation:

Zoe's intenions were clear. She wanted to borrow Jack's automobile. Jack, however, did not understand why, maybe, he thought, to drive around the neighborhood or maybe to go to Lyn's house. He did not know. Jack was so confused but he let her borrow the car anyway. Then Jack figured it out, Zoe became popular if she drove a car. However, if Zoe didn't drive the car she became generic.
