Answer:
C. It pokes fun at the professed selflessness of people who propose
solutions to society's problems.
Explanation:
One of the proposal described just before this concluding excerpt is selling the poor Irish one year old children to abroad as a source of food. According to the proposer (a narrator and not Jonathan Swift himself), this selling will make Irish people rich. After this proposal the narrator wants to convince readers of his selflessness. This is very satiric and satirizes the professed selflessness of such proposers. The proposer is wanting himself to be believed very sincere after saying that he can not sell his own children, because they are old.
Option A, B and D are not correct. Firstly because the proposal is a satire and the proposer is not Jonathan Swift himself, but just a narrator - a satirized self professed selfless proposer. Secondly as this proposal is a satire, there is no mention of satirizing or poking fun in any of these options.
In story of "The Life of Christopher Columbus", by Edward Everett, the Columbus's journal would be very different if he had written it only for personal use and not for Ferdinand and Isabella.
Who was Christopher Columbus"?
Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer and navigator who was born between 25 August and 31 October 1451 and died on May 20, 1506, completed four Spanish-based expeditions across the Atlantic Ocean under the patronage of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain, paving the way for later widespread European exploration and colonization of the Americas. Known European contact with the Caribbean, Central America, and South America began with his travels.
The writings of Colombus display a business perspective on the discovery of the new continent. Colombus wanted to convince the monarchs that his exploratory journeys were useful and merited their money. He therefore wrote data demonstrating the new continent's financial success. If he had produced the papers for personal use instead of for business, they wouldn't have been as relevant to the monarchy and would have been written differently. In this instance, Colombus would provide more somber details and describe the new continent in terms of the wonders and beauties he discovered in regard to both the topography and the local populace.

Answer:
A). Shaping.
Explanation:
As per the given description of Marc's behavior and his mother's attitude to amend his habits exemplify that his mother is employing 'shaping' as it would establish his behavior which was previously not performed. This concept was first defined by B.F. Skinner who was a leading psychologist advocating 'behaviorism'. 'Shaping' is quite commonly employed by teachers and mothers to inculcate or <em>reinforce certain behavior in kids that would help them to perform better and reach nearer to their targets.</em> Similarly, Marc's mother is reinforcing 'successive approximations' to instill a behavioral change in him and attain the desired goal(when Marc begins to do his homework regularly). Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
