Question

9. Swift says his proposal will solve which problems (check all that apply)

Answer 1

Hello. This question is about "Modest Proposal"

Answer:

hunger, clothing, money/economy, overpopulation.

Explanation:

The modest Proposal was a text written by Jonathan Swift as a proposal to end the growing number of poor children on the streets begging or getting involved in activities they shouldn't have.

Swift claimed that the rich and politicians were very uncomfortable with this scenario, but did nothing to control poverty and help these children. So he proposed that a way to end this problem and thus decrease hunger, clothing, money / economy and overpopulation, would be for the poor to sell their children to the rich so that they could serve as food for the rich and their skins to make clothes.

Swift wrote this essay in a satirical way to show how the hypocrisy of the rich stimulated social problems and their hypocrisy would have to solve those problems.
