What is the meaning of each underlined word in these excerpts from “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift? I think it is agreed b

y all parties, that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the kingdom, a very great additional grievance; and therefore whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these children sound and useful members of the common-wealth, would deserve so well of the publick, as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation. . . . Some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and I have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. The word prodigious means . The word desponding means .

How was the Agua Caliente housing development blocked?
Sedaia [141]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

How was the Agua Caliente housing development blocked?

Cahuilla Indians that opposed the millionaire project to use their lands tried to block the Agua Caliente development by protesting and impeding the entrance of people related to the investment project. The original intention was to block Shadowrock, trying to stop any advancements. They do not want the project to move forward. However, these opponents did not have much success with their efforts.

Cahuilla Indians of Agua Caliente accepted to sign a lucrative deal that included the development of approximately 210 acres of their lands in the region known as Chino Cone.

Shadowrock's lucrative proposition included the construction of a hotel, golf courses, and homes in the Coachella Valley area.
