Answer:

If this is a grammar question, the answer would be A, discounted.

Explanation:

If you put each word in to see if it makes sense, A is the only one that does. Ex:

Lets try A, discounted.

Scientists discounted the fortune-teller's method of predicting earthquakes.

Does this make sense?

Yes, but we should try the others just to be sure.

Next is b, attributed.

Scientists attributed the fortune-teller's method of predicting earthquakes.

This one doesn't make sense, so B is not the correct answer.

Next is C, contributed.

Scientists contributed the fortune-teller's method of predicting earthquakes.

This one doesn't make sense either, so let's try the last answer, D (isolated)

Scientists isolated the fortune-teller's method of predicting earthquakes.

This one also doesn't work, so the answer must be A, discounted.

Hope I helped! :)

Read the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal." Those who are more thrifty (as I must confess the times require) may flea the carcass

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

the utter absurdity of his plan

Explanation:

Satire is the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices.

Jonathan Swift uses satire in his book A Modest Proposal to ridicule and mock the \British elites for their treatment of the Irish people by suggesting that selling off children would ease their economic troubles.

He uses satire throughout the essay to show the impracticability of the British policy that is supposed to remedy the sufferings of the Irish.

From the excerpt, Swift is showing the utter absurdity of the plan of using carcass to make dresses, gloves and boots.

Ron is writing an analytical essay on the play Romeo and Juliet . Why would he most likely benefit from seeing a live performanc

ExtremeBDS [4]

He would benefit from seeing a live performance because he would be able to view the emotions in real time instead of just reading the words on the paper. Also, a live performance might help him hear lines he missed while reading. The actions will also be more clear. He needs the essay to be as clear as possible.

Too is an adverb that can mean “excessively” or “also.” Just to be clear: two is pronounced the same as to and too, but it can't be used instead of either of them because it's a number.
