Read the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal." A very worthy person, a true lover of his country, and whose virtues I highly esteem, was lately pleased, in discoursing on this matter, to offer a refinement upon my scheme. He said, that many gentlemen of this kingdom, having of late destroyed their deer, he conceived that the want of venison might be well supply'd by the bodies of young lads and maidens, not exceeding fourteen years of age, nor under twelve; so great a number of both sexes in every country being now ready to starve for want of work and service. Which statement best describes Swift’s use of rhetorical devices in this excerpt? Swift uses a false premise when he says that people of the kingdom are in “want of venison.” Swift uses irony when he says “so great a number of both sexes” are in desperate need of “work and service.” Swift uses irony when he says the person with whom he discussed his plan is “very worthy” and “a true lover of this country.” Swift uses a false premise when he says the “gentlemen of the kingdom” have “destroyed their deer.”

Answer:

Swift uses irony when he says the person with whom he discussed his plan is “very worthy” and “a true lover of this country."

Explanation:

Because Swift is discussing a person who is proposing the slaughter of young women for sport, it is ironic that he describes this person as "very worthy" because the person's lack of morality does not characterize them as very honorable, and it contrasts Swift's high opinion of the person.

She stood , finally , her canvas Keds tied tight , on May 3 , 1955 , atop the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail , the longest continuous footpath in the world , facing the peaks on the blue- black horizon that stretched toward heaven and unfurled before her for days . Facing a mean landscape of angry rivers and hateful rock she stood , a woman , mother of eleven and grandmother of twenty - three . She had not been able to get the trail out of her mind . She had thought of it constantly back home in Ohio, where she tended her small garden and looked after her grandchildren , biding her time until she could get away .

(3) Also, the size of the benefits depends on the number of years one has worked. (4) If a person retires at 65, the monthly benefits are greater than if he or she retires at 62.
