The reason why Swift titled his work "A Modest Proposal" is because it uses <u>satire</u>, 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.

Hitman42 [59]
The correct option is C. 
The Aborigines are people who are members of the Aboriginal race of Australia. The Aborigines have been experiencing marginalization for a very long time. They were evicted from their traditional homes and many live in abject poverty; the government of Australia does not seem to know that they exist because they don't usually feature in any government policy. But things have changed now and the government is trying to incorporate them back into the Australian society.<span />
