The excerpt is the following:
<em>As to our City of Dublin, shambles may be appointed for this purpose, in the most convenient parts of it, and butchers we may be assured will not be wanting; although I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs.</em>
Answer:
He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."
Explanation:
An understatement is a figure of speech that consists of intentionally representing something less important or smaller than it really is. This is what Swift uses when he suggests that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs." The author employs this figure of speech to catch the readers' attention and to criticize Irish society and its attitude toward the condition of poor farmers and laborers who can not feed their children due to the high rent they have to pay to their landowners. In order to improve the poor's economic situation, they'd better sell their children off as food to feed the wealthy.
Major Kovaloff can best be described as proud. He is very proud of his station and his rank, and wants everyone to respect him for it. In the story, it says "He did not so much mind people making personal
remarks about him, but it was a different matter when aspersions were cast on his rank or
social standing." This shows that he cares very much about his rank and dislikes when people aren't as respectful as he thinks they should be.
Answer: 4. path paved
Explanation:
Based on the options, one can surmise that the underlined area is ''...path and paved it ...''.
After the county cleared the path, they then paved it with packed gravel. These were two distinct actions and so need to be separated when written. Options A through to C manages to do this as both actions are separated by a commas or conjunctions.
In option D however, there was no separation of both actions which makes it grammatically wrong and unacceptable to replace the underlined part.
Explanation:
Whatt's your question? This cannot be answered. Sorry.
