Answer: For one, She uses the name Starkfield to express that the town is very bleak, desolate and empty

Explanation:

Edith Wharton uses the name of the place as a tool to state the not only the kind of place and atmosphere but also the kind of events that happen around the characters, the word stark give us the definition of something that is not flexible at all and can not change, this helps the reader to have a more complete mental image during the plot.

Which detail best supports the idea that oppressive leaders use propaganda to achieve their goals?
myrzilka [38]

Answer: "Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons . . . to mingle with the animals on neighbouring farms . . . and teach them the tune of ‘Beasts of England.’"

Explanation:

Everyday Snowball and Napoleon sent pigeons which went to other farms to tell them the news of the rebellion as well as to teach them the words of the Animal Farm anthem,<em> The Beasts of England. </em>

This was a calculated attempt to show the country that animals could rule themselves by using propaganda (biased information) because the pigeons that were sent out spoke only wonderfully about the farm and this led to most believing that the farm was a paradise where animals could rule themselves and govern their own affairs even though in fact, it was a dictatorship.

Swift closes his essay by suggesting that the reader should accept his proposal because:
Nitella [24]

Answer:

B. Most rich landlords would make far better eating than any other form of food.

Explanation:

The last paragraph of Jonathan Swift's (1667–1745) "Modest Proposal - For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland" (1729) is;

<em>"I profess in the sincerity of my heart, that I have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich. I have no children, by which I can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing."</em>

The main idea and conclusion of this paragraph is that people should believe in Swift's sincerity because he has nothing personal to gain from these steps to eliminate poverty. However, this option is not provided, so we should try to find out the second best option, which is option B. Swift also suggests that these steps (selling infants as food a for cannibals), would do public good by providing infants (as food) to the rich. The rich would be pleased to have such a food. So, based on these observations, the best option (of the provided ones) is option B.
