Option 2 and 4
Explanation:
<em>The above option 2 and 4 are those sentences which provides a humourous contrast in Twain's satire regarding to sleeping and waking up as well as a lark.</em>
The sentence that best paraphrases the passage is <em>Swift says that it is common to see impoverished people in the streets of Ireland</em>. In "A Modest Proposal", Jonathan Swift writes about how Ireland is suffering for being under British rule, about how impoverished couples have trouble feeding their children. Mothers have to beg on the streets carrying their children with them. It is also common to see children begging on the streets. To avoid this, Swift suggests in a satirical way that women should sell their children to rich English landowners.
