'A Modest Proposal,' written by Jonathan Swift in 1729, begins by deploring the sad fate of the poverty-stricken Irish who have to spend all their time trying to feed their large families. As a solution to the poverty in which these families are forced to live, by virtue of having so many mouths to feed, Swift suggests that these poor Irish families should fatten up their children and sell them to the rich English land owners.
He argues that children could be sold into a meat market as early as the age of one, giving poor families some much needed income, while sparing them the expenses of raising so many children. With 100,000 Irish children out of the population being set aside for dinner, his solution, he reasons, will also help to resolve the issues of overpopulation and unemployment in Ireland, giving the Irish economy a much needed boost, while making it easier for England to deal with its unruly Irish subjects.
Swift then goes on to offer statistical support for his proposal and specific data about the number of children to be sold, their weight and price and the projected eating patterns of their consumers. He even suggests some recipes for preparing this delicious new meat, reasoning that, with innovative cooks generating ever more and delicious new dishes, it will expand and improve the culinary experience of the wealthy, resulting in a healthier and happier population as a whole.
'A Modest Proposal' ends with the argument that the practice of selling and eating children will have positive effects on Irish family morality: husbands will treat their wives with more respect, and parents will value their children in ways as yet unknown. His proposal, he argues, will, if implemented, do more to solve Ireland's complex social, political and economic problems than any other measure that has yet been proposed
Answer:
where are the words to arrange
Answer:
1)
I believe the most difficult part of Stacy's experiences with her grandmother would be the first time Stacy showed her grandmother her shoe. There was a lot of tension between her grandmother and Stacy at that period. For instance: "They'll ruin your feet." She lunged toward me and tried to snatch them away. Angry and bewildered, I retreated a few steps and showed her the shoe." and "When she looked back at the satin ribbons, it was with a hate and disgust that I had never seen before. "Give those to me." She held out her hand. I clutched the ribbons tightly against my stomach. "Why?" " At this point, there is much confusion and anger between Stacy and her grandmother. After this excitement in the story, Stacy became very distant from her mother, and there was much tension. For example "The next morning, I decided that if Grandmother was going to be mean to me, then I would be mean to her. I began to ignore her. When she entered a room I was in, I would deliberately turn around and leave. For the rest of the day, things got more and more tense."

From 'understanding self and others', and 'the power of love', and 'solving life's mysteries', I could conclude that the best theme to fit those words would be that with love and humility you must go out and do what you love best, understanding what others might feel and how you would, to fulfill your purpose and discover great treasures in life. For example, "I covered her hands with mine. "I just wanted to show you what I love best- dancing." "And I love my children," she said. I could hear the ache in her voice. "And my grandchildren. I don't want anything bad to happen to you." and "and then I began crying, too. "So much to learn," she said and began hugging me back. "So much to learn." These two sentences show us that you must understand what others might feel and how you would, to fulfill your purpose and discover great treasures in life.

Answer:
B). Instead
Explanation:
As per the question, the most appropriate word to complete the given sentence would be 'instead.' Thus, the complete sentence reads as:
'Instead, the constitution breaks the U.S. Government into three branches.'
<u>It offers a complete and accomplished meaning. It implies that 'in comparison to the present two branches of the federal government, the constitution instead divides the United States Govt. three equal yet independent branches</u>.' The other word fails to go as per the context of the sentence and convey an incomplete thought as they either include a subordinating conjunction('although', 'before') or require contextual background(as 'in conclusion'). Thus, <u>option</u> <u>B</u> is the correct answer.
