Satire is a genre of literature in which vices and abuses are held up to ridicule with the intent of shaming. It can be directed towards corporations, governments, individuals or society at large. Satire is usually humorous, however, it serves a purpose of social criticism. Satire often uses techniques such as parody, exaggeration, and analogies.
In <em>A Modest Proposal</em>, by <em>Jonathan Swift</em>, the author provides a "proposal" for dealing with the economic problems of Ireland. Swift says that the economy could be improved if parents sold their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. This text fits as satire for two main reasons:
- <em>Its use of language:</em> irony, exaggeration and parody are all used extensively.
- <em>It serves a purpose of social criticism:</em> its intention is to mock attitudes towards the poor, as well as British attitudes towards Irish citizens.
The best answer would be C. zeal. Zeal means enthusiasm for a cause which makes sense in this sentence.
Ire means anger, that doesn't fit. Neither does prodigy (meaning someone who is exceptional, especially at a young age), nor fete (meaning to entertain someone).
In the poem, the poet asks God to promise the certainty of her salvation.
This can be seen in the following lines:And to my God my heart did cry
To straighten me in my Distress
And not to leave me succourless.
Answer:
Adjective: Worn out
Determiner: These shoes, Which book
Explanation:
A determiner is a word that is placed in front of a noun in order to show quantity, such as "one cat," many cats", or to show possession or clarify what the noun is referring to such as, "my sheep", "that sheep", etc.
