It suggests a satirical and simple proposal to the problem starving Ireland faced: the lack of food to feed the people.
Of course, the entire modest proposal was that parents eat and sell their children as food and the idea was meant as satire, meaning to be considered with a grain of salt and not seriously (kind of like a really dark joke).
''Modest'' means that the proposal was obvious and simple in the eyes of the author Jonathan Swift but not necessarily in the eyes of others. ''Proposal'' means the general answer to the problem Swift was answering.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you did not attach the text or the excerpt to know what those lines say.

The words and phrases that the author uses describing the motives of Juvencio, when he killed Don Lupe, reveals that Juvencio has no remorse for what he did because it was not for personal reasons. It was for "business reasons." This sounds ironic because, in the end, he killed, but deep in Juvencio´s mind there is a difference between personal reasons and a decision that is forced for "business purposes."
Juvencio says DonLuped did not allow him to pasture his animals in Don Lupe's field. And that was necessary for the animals to survive and feed Juvencio.
Mexican writer Juan Rulfo is the author of the story "Tell Them Not to Kill Me."
