Read the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal." I profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that I have not the least personal interest

in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich. I have no children, by which I can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing. Which statement best describes how irony is used in this excerpt? Swift states that he is speaking from “the sincerity in [his] heart.” Swift states that he has an interest in “the publick good of [his] country.” Swift states that the youngest of his children is “nine years old.” Swift states that his “wife is past child-bearing” age.

Irony has an amusing effect, it says one thing but in reality it means the opposite. Although a satire is narrated in first person, this does not mean that the words written carry the thoughts of the writer. Swift states in the excerpt provided that he is speaking from "the sincerity of his heart", however it is well known that the writer was deeply affected by the economic restrictions imposed by England and by the injustice of the conditions in Ireland.

Which of the following sentences uses whom correctly?
Komok [63]

From the following sentences," It didn't matter with whom, but Bette was determined to go to the theater." uses whom correctly

The other options use the word whom incorrectly, but option c does not because whom is correctly used in the sentence!

When referring to the object of a verb or preposition, whom should be used. When in doubt, try this simple trick: if the word can be replaced with "he" or "she," use who. Use whom if you can replace it with "him" or "her."

When referring to the subject of a sentence, who should be used.

When referring to the object of a verb or preposition, whom should be used.

How to Remember the Distinction?

Knowing the difference between subjective and objective cases is essential for understanding when to use "whom" or "who." You will be able to determine the correct usage of "who" and "whom" once you can easily identify the subject and object of a sentence or clause.
