In this excerpt from Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal", the statement that best describes how irony is used in the excerpt is <em>"Swift states that he is speaking from "the sincerity in (his) heart."</em>
Swift is going to state his "modest proposal". He writes about how Ireland is suffering for being under British rule. How impoverished couples have trouble feeding their children. Mothers and children beg on the streets. To avoid this, Swift suggests in a satirical way that women should sell their children to rich English landowners, so they will serve them as meals. He could not seriously write this from the sincerity of his heart, this is ironical.

U can ask me questions about it:
There are the 2 gods, the God of Creation (Anthos) and the God of Destruction (Marthos) . Time and time again, Anthos would create life forms, planets, and even galaxies, and Marthos would destroy them (either to keep things in check or for fun). One day, Anthos had enough of this, so created planet Earth with creatures that were very dangerous and could also cause a decent amount of damage. When Marthos saw these creatures, he was amazed and left them alone for an extra million years, but eventually Marthos wiped them out.
