Read the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal." A very worthy person, a true lover of his country, and whose virtues I highly esteem,

was lately pleased, in discoursing on this matter, to offer a refinement upon my scheme. He said, that many gentlemen of this kingdom, having of late destroyed their deer, he conceived that the want of venison might be well supply'd by the bodies of young lads and maidens, not exceeding fourteen years of age, nor under twelve; so great a number of both sexes in every country being now ready to starve for want of work and service.

Answer:

irony

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" Swift had used irony. The irony is one of the rhetorical devices in which the opposite is meant what is spoken. In the above excerpt, the irony is used when the speaker says "very worthy person" and "true lover of his country". This is an ironical statement because a person who possesses these qualities would never be the one using the children to get food supplies.

Hewo Fellow Humans!!

Plains provide better water facilities and easy availability of land for the production, housing, educational and service activities.

kykrilka [37]
<span>The answer is "Broca's area".

Broca's area is in charge of complex punctuation and discourse generation, which is located in the frontal lobe. Loss of discourse work is alluded to as Broca's aphasia. Interestingly, Wernicke's region is engaged with dialect appreciation. Harm to Wernicke's zone can influence the substance of discourse, however does not influence the stream or language structure.

How many times must a bill be read in the House of Representatives before a final vote is taken on its adoption?
dlinn [17]
The correct answer is: three readings!

The first reading is the general introduction of the bill, and after this, the bill will be worked on in a committee.
In the second reading, the bill is presented to the full house and discussed.

After the third and final reading (which might include the changes in the bill) the bill will be voted on!

Write a detailed paragraph about lockdown in the us and trump’s response to it
zlopas [31]

Answer:

I'm sorry if this paragraph leans less in his favor, it's just who I am.

Explanation:

Donald J. Trump's reaction to the lockdown was to say it was fake, and continue to have rallies. "Stay calm, it will go away. You know it -- you know it is going away, and it will go away, and we're going to have a great victory." Mr. Trump says in march. His response to Biden trying to lockdown the country was negative. He recently got Coronavirus, so Mr. Trump is being a little more careful, and actually getting it opened his eyes to how bad the country is actually suffering.
