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 .

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Write 3 sentences comparing the city and the countryside.

Example: The countryside is more beautiful than the city

Answer:

Outdoor activities are more available in the countryside than in the city.

The countryside offers a more peaceful environment than the city does.

Pollution in the city is worse than in the countryside.

Explanation:

In English, there are several ways to compare two things. The use of the comparative is the most common. When the adjective in question has two syllables and ends in any letter except "y", it is combined with "more".

However, irregular adjectives have rules of their own. In our example, "Bad" becomes "worse than".
