Explanation:
A False Premise refers to a situation where an argument is based on a wrong assumption. Normally this would mean that the argument would be wrong as well but sometimes this is not the case.
In this essay, the author, Jonathan Swift relied on the false premise that parents would rather sell their children than be responsible for them. In other words he was saying that parents would sell their children to the higher classes to to survive.
The inference that can be drawn from the following lines from “Englishmen’s Footprints” is that the English boy followed an old footpath and it helped him get to his destination.
This is because, from the given text, it is unsure if the lines are literal or figurative and either way, the inference that can be drawn is that the English boy followed the pathways of people before him to succeed.
