Which part of this excerpt from “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift is directed against a particular social class in Ireland?I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children.

Infant's flesh will be in season throughout the year, but more plentiful in March, and a little before and after; for we are told by a grave author, an eminent French physician, that fish being a prolifick dyet, there are more children born in Roman Catholick countries about nine months after Lent, the markets will be more glutted than usual, because the number of Popish infants, is at least three to one in this kingdom, and therefore it will have one other collateral advantage, by lessening the number of Papists among us.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children.

Swift is targeting Protestant Irish Landlords (upper classes). He clearly speaks about them in very negative terms since they oppress Irish Catholic tenants just because of their religion:

Here he says that these landlords have exploited and abused their Irish Catholic tenants and that naturally they can do the same with their children (the humor is meant to criticize the landlords). Swift is actually criticizing the fact that landlords have taken everything from their Irish tenants, only the children are left but not for long.

Answer 2

Answer: The sentence about landlords because it is against the upper class and addresses that upper classes take advantage of the lower classes to get what they want

36.8% of what number is 28.52

Answers

36.8% will be .368
so 26.8% of what number is 28.52
.368 × N = 28.52
.368(N)=28.52
divide each side by .368
so N= 77.5

36.8%x=28.52

36.8% = 0.368

0.368x = 28.52

0.368x/0.368 = 28.52/0.368

x=77.5

Therefore, 36.8%of 77.5 is 28.52

What theme is represented by Aragorn?

A.
All good things must come to an end.

B.
Might makes right.

C.
You cannot judge a book by its cover.

D.
Love conquers all.

Answers

Firstly, Frodo offers the ring to Gandalf, for he is of it's power and does not think he can be trusted with it. Gandalf realizes that if he had the ring, he would've been corrupted by it, and as such refuses.
The ring is never offered to Legolas.
The ring is never offered to Sam, although he offers to carry it in some cases, and before Frodo was dragged to Cirith Ungol, Sam did take it off of him.
The ring is offered to Galadriel, but she declines for the same reasons as Gandalf.

Secondly, the main theme represented by Aragorn would be You cannot judge a book by its cover.
The other ones don't make too much sense.
Aragorn certainly did not believe in might makes right.
While Aragorn's love story was present in the book, it was far from his main theme, and Arwen rarely appeared.
And while the concept of All good things must come to an end is in the book, it is not represented by Aragorn. It is represented by the elves and their leaving from Middle Earth, Aragorn shows new birth with the kingdom of Men.
Hope this helps :)

Which best describes the authors’ purpose in using a quotation from adam smith’s book the theory of moral sentiments?

Answers

d. to lend credibility and additional support to their conclusion

The missing quotation was:

"If morality represents the way we would like the world to work and economics represents how it actually does work, then the story of Feldman's bagel business lies at the very intersection of morality and economics. Yes, a lot of people steal from him, but the vast majority, even though no is watching over them, do not. This outcome may surprise some people—including Feldman's economist friends, who counseled him twenty years ago that his honor-system scheme would never work. But it would not have surprised Adam Smith. In fact, theme of Smith's first book, the Theory of Moral Sentiments, was the innate honesty of mankind. "How selfish soever man may be supposed," Smith wrote, "there are evidently some principles in his nature which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it."

Answer:

The correct answer is D
