Answer:

A possessive is missing in the sentence. It is highlighted and corrected below:

A group of young French doctors began the organization Doctors Without Borders in 1971. The founders mission was to help victims of war and natural disasters. → The founders' mission was to ...

Explanation:

One way of expressing possession in English is by using the genitive case, which consists of adding an apostrophe or 's to the possessor in a sentence. For example, if a book belongs to my friend Anna, I can say: Anna's book.

<u>When we have a plural noun that already ends in -s, we should only add an apostrophe to indicate possession. That apostrophe is precisely what is missing in the sentence we are analyzing here. The second part of the sentence is about a mission. </u><u>Whose mission is it? It is the founders' mission.</u><u> Thus, we must use the apostrophe for the sentence to be correct.</u>

Match each piece of text from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift to the subject of the satire.
polet [3.4K]

Answer: The answer is below

Explanation:

the general perception of all poor as thieves and robbers - the belief that thieves and robbers are abundant in Ireland

poor husbands' low opinion of their wives  - Men would become as fond of their wives, during the time of their pregnancy, as they are now of their mares in foal, their cows in calf, or sow when they are ready to farrow.

The increasing number of husbands abandoning their wives and children - the perception that Irish families lack a regard for the institution of marriage

The government's lack of attention to the poor - the lack of institutions to conduct marriages for the Irish poor

They can very seldom pick up a livelihood by stealing till they arrive at six years old; except where they are of towardly parts, although I confess they learn the rudiments much earlier - These children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages.
