After reading "A Modest Proposal" and analyzing the benefits mentioned, we can say the ones that would result from the proposal are:

C. Finer culinary experiences for the wealthy.

E. Opportunities for the poor to compensate their landlords​.

<h3>What is the proposal about?</h3>

In the satirical essay "A Modest Proposal," Jonathan Swift comes up with a solution for the increasing poverty in Ireland. He says the babies of the poor should be sold and cooked as food for the rich. That way, two benefits would be obtained:

  • The wealthy would have a fine culinary experience.
  • The poor would be compensating their landlords.

Of course the proposal is sarcastic, and its real purpose is to criticize the way the wealthy mistreat the poor. Back when it was first published, it caused shock and surprise, for readers thought they would read a serious proposal.
