Answer:

D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.

Explanation:

This excerpt is from Jonathan Swift's (1667 – 1745) satirical article "A Modest Proposal" - <em>for preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick.</em>

Option C states almost the same thing as in option D. But option D better explains the situation.

There is also a sharp sense of satire in author's usage of words "fair, cheap and easy". Jonathan Swift's satire is aimed toward government whose policies even in matters of such great importance are economy centered.

Scholars now understand that effective speeches are speaker oriented, despite the fact that traditional approaches to speech planning were listener centric. An explicit statement of what you want your audience to understand, believe, or do is referred to as a speech aim.

When writing, practising, and delivering the speech, the speaker should keep the audience in mind at all times. If the speaker does her job successfully, the audience will concentrate on the subject matter as it should be.
