In my opinion, the sentences that correctly use quotations are:

<span>2) Swift asserts that whoever finds “a fair, cheap and easy method” for solving the overwhelming issue of poverty in England would deserve to have “his statue set up for a preserver of the nation.” The author quotes chosen parts of Swift's narrative with correct punctuation.

</span><span>4) Swift explains that his proposal would bring relief to impoverished parents because they would “be rid of the charge of maintaining them after the first year.” The author quotes a part of the narrative.

5) “This would be a great inducement to marriage, which all wise nations have either encouraged by rewards, or enforced by laws and penalties,” writes Swift about his proposal. The author quotes an entire sentence as direct speech.
</span>
The first example isn't correct because the whole sentence is in quotation marks. The third one isn't correct either because there is no quotation; it is just a paraphrase.

Can anyone translate this stanza for me? - The Republican Genius of Europe by Philip Freneau

Elenna [48]

Answer:

it's already completed, but here's the whole poem:

Explanation:

The Republican Genius of Europe

Emporers and kings! in vain you strive

Your torments to conceal--

The age is come that shakes your thrones,

Tramples in dust despotic crowns,

And bids the sceptre fail.

In western worlds the flame began:

From thence to France it flew--

Through Europe, now, it takes its way,

Beams an insufferable day,

And lays all tyrants low.

Genius of France! pursue the chase

Till Reason’s laws restore

Man to be Man, in every clime;--

That Being, active, great, sublime

Debas’d in dust no more.

In dreadful pomp he takes his way

O’er ruin’d crowns, demolish’d thrones--

Pale tyrants shrink before his blaze--

Round him terrific lightenings play--

With eyes of fire, he looks then through,

Crushes the vile despotic crew,

And Pride in ruin lays.
