Answer:

D). Swift makes a proposal so ridiculous that readers will know his essay is  a satire.

Explanation:

Swift's 'Modest Proposal' is an arching satire to critique the English exploitation of Irish people. In the given excerpt, he employs exaggeration to critique the Irish people's act of selling their kids in order to overcome their economic inefficiencies by comparing 'a healthy child' with 'a delicious, wholesome food.' He makes the <u>proposal immodest, outrageous, and exaggerated so that the readers' can understand the author's purpose of mocking the heartless attitude of Britishers and push the Irish people to stand for their rights</u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
