The sentence in the above excerpt from "In Another Country" by Ernest Hemingway which is an example of irony is:
“You are a fortunate young man.”
The story "In Another Country" is about Hemingway's personal experiences in the Milanese hospital. He narrates the stories of the patients admitted with him after the end of the first World War. The story talks about the wounds which the war has given to them, apart from the physical pains. The wounded soldiers wanted to erase the ills and effects which the world war has given to the world. In the above excerpt, it is ironical that the doctor calls the football player 'a fortunate man' after his leg broke off.
Answer:
The inertia of the rulers and the hypocrisy of the rich and Christian society.
Explanation:
In "A modest proposal", Swift is addressing how society is flawed and allows misery to be established in the country by harming many people. He does this, showing how society has failed by promoting inert politicians who only care about their own well-being, preventing the population from making progress, in addition to doing nothing for the most needy citizens. In addition, he shows that the rich and Christian society has been hypocritical, showing itself as good and generous individuals, but who do not help those who need it most, but exploit and ignore them.
