This question is incomplete. The complete question is the following:
<em>(From "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift)</em>
<em>For first, as I have already observed, it would greatly lessen the number of Papists, with whom we are yearly over-run, being the principal breeders of the nation, as well as our most dangerous enemies, and who stay at home on purpose with a design to deliver the kingdom to the Pretender, hoping to take their advantage by the absence of so many good Protestants, who have chosen rather to leave their country, than stay at home and pay tithes against their conscience to an episcopal curate.</em>
1.The "principal breeders" of the nation refer to ______.
2.In the last line, the writer talks about the "good Protestants" to ______.
1.
- nonworking population
- the catholic population in poverty
- young men and women in poverty
- foreigners living in ireland
2.
- mock the protestants for paying tithes(compulsory donations).
- criticize the growing influence of the catholic population.
- highlight the sufferings of Irish protestants.
- criticize protestants who abandoned their country.
In the first case, the author refers to "principal breeders." By saying this, he is referring to people who have most of the babies in the nation. In "A Modest Proposal," these are identified to be Irish Catholics. Swift also refers to them as "papist," due to the the Pope being the head of the Catholic Church. Therefore, he is referring to the Catholic population in poverty.
In the second case, Swift is talking about "good Protestants" who leave their country because they cannot tolerate the idea of staying at home and dealing with the nation's problems. Swift says "good Protestants" in an ironic way, as his purpose is to criticize such a defeatist attitude. Therefore, we know that the author talks about good Protestants in order to criticize people who have abandoned their country.

Explanation:
The phrases above are two examples of complex phrases that can be found in the text.
A complex sentence is one that is formed by an independent clause and one or two dependent clauses. As you may already know, dependent clauses are those that cannot convey a complete thought on their own and therefore need a complement to make sense, unlike the independent clauses that can conclude a thought and convey a complete meaning without the need for complement.
Answer:
The option that contains the objective summary of "forgiveness triumphs" theme is:
B. The scene where Laertes asks forgiveness helps demonstrate that forgiveness can be more powerful than revenge.
Explanation:
<em>Exchange forgiveness with me, noble Hamlet:
</em>
<em>Mine and my father's death come not upon thee,
</em>
<em>Nor thine on me! [Dies.]
</em>
<em>Hamlet: Heaven make thee free of it! I follow thee.
</em>
<em>I am dead, Horatio.
</em>
-Hamlet,William Shakespeare
<u>Laertes seeks revenge for his father's and sister's deaths, for which he blames Hamlet. However, once they are both poisoned and about to die, Laertes realizes the futility of revenge. Death conquers all. Killing someone only brings more tragedy and suffering onto oneself and others. That is why Laertes asks Hamlet to "exchange forgiveness" with him: so that they can both be free from the deadly ropes of revenge and resentment.</u>
