Answer:

Niyi employs satire to critique 'the political brawls and estimations of Nigeria's major linguistic groups.'

Explanation:

As we know, satire is a literary device that primarily aims to ridicule or critique the social or political follies in order to bring it to attention. In the poem titled 'The Leader and the led' by Niyi Osundare, satire has been employed to mock the major political groups of Nigeria who are in the rat race to gain political power as well as money. He also <u>ridicules them by saying that they even fail to glorify their best leaders and constantly being involved in buying votes, murdering people to gain power, and turning animalistic in nature</u>.

Which statement best describes Swift's use of understatement in this excerpt? He states that "roasting pigs" is more difficult t
m_a_m_a [10]

The excerpt is the following:

<em>As to our City of Dublin, shambles may be appointed for this purpose, in the most convenient parts of it, and butchers we may be assured will not be wanting; although I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs.</em>

Answer:

He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."

Explanation:

An understatement is a figure of speech that consists of intentionally representing something less important or smaller than it really is. This is what Swift uses when he suggests that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs." The author employs this figure of speech to catch the readers' attention and to criticize Irish society and its attitude toward the condition of poor farmers and laborers who can not feed their children due to the high rent they have to pay to their landowners. In order to improve the poor's economic situation, they'd better sell their children off as food to feed the wealthy.
