As per the question, the author in the given excerpt from 'The Modest Proposal' is employing satire to highlight 'the utter absurdity of his plan' which is reflected through the use of words like 'thrifty, flea the carcass, etc.'. Swift portrays the idea of 'selling children into a meat market for eradicating poverty'(by the thrifty ones) to criticize the social issue of starving families due to poverty and oppression and domination of wealthy elites. Thus, in the given excerpt he emphasizes the absurd plan to mock at the present situation of Ireland and the authorities' inability to cater to it. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
Answer:
A. Utter absurdity of his plan.
Explanation:
In Jonathan Swift's satire "A Modest Proposal", he suggests ways to effectively combat the poverty situation of Ireland. His suggestion include how to effectively use children who are anyway suffering from begging and starvation, and turning them into useful members of the Commonwealth.
Swift's proposal demands the use of children as meat so that it will not affect the living conditions of the rich and also at the same time provide a means of steady income for the poor mothers who are breeding them. This will be favorable to everyone, even the landlord who will now be a source/ farm for the upbringing of these poor children/ orphans.
In the given passage, Swift suggests that those thrifty about leaving anything to waste can make use of the child's skin as "gloves for ladies, and summer boots for fine gentlemen." This is a really absurd, even barbaric and unimaginable suggestion that Swift uses by satirizing the Irish people's condition and the British government's lack of interest/ concern about it.
In the graphic novel "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi, the moment when Marji declares she is an adult is depicted in the chapter titled "The Cigarette." This chapter explores Marji's rebellious phase during her teenage years in Iran.
Marji declares herself an adult when she decides to smoke a cigarette. In Iranian culture, smoking is often seen as a symbol of adulthood and rebellion. Marji's decision to smoke represents her desire to assert her independence and break free from societal expectations.
During a party, Marji is offered a cigarette by her friends. Initially hesitant, she eventually takes it and lights it up. In this moment, she declares to herself and those around her that she is no longer a child but an adult capable of making her own choices.
However, it is important to note that Marji's declaration of adulthood through smoking is a symbol of her rebellion rather than a true indicator of maturity. Throughout the novel, Marji goes through various experiences and learns important life lessons that shape her understanding of adulthood beyond superficial acts.
In summary, Marji declares herself an adult in "Persepolis" during the chapter "The Cigarette" when she decides to smoke a cigarette. This act represents her rebellion and desire to assert her independence. However, it is crucial to recognize that true adulthood is defined by more than just superficial actions and requires personal growth and maturity.

Terza rima is rhyming verse form that consists of an interlocking three-line rhime scheme. It was first used by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri. It uses a chain rhime with the pattern "ABA BCB CDC DED" there is no limit to the number of lines but they all finished with a single line or a couplet repeating the previous middle rhime.
The firsts known use of terza rima is in Dante´s "Divine Comedy", he may had been influenced by the lyric poetry "Sirventes" from the provençal troubadours. The three line pattern may have been intended to suggest the holy trinity, inspired by Dante other italian poets began to used it. For the english language the first poet to used it was Geoffrey Chaucer but in English is more difficult to use because of the shortage of rhime words available in the language in comparisson with the italian who has a more complex phonology.
With all this information given I believe that the purpose of the terza rima is to move forward in reading because each "stanza" gives you a preview of what rhime is comming in the next one. Besides by being a three line rhime is a short "stanza" and keep you hooked to the poem.
I´ll copy an examples of terza rima in english from the author Percy Bysshe Shelley and the poem is called "Ode to the West Wind":
"O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being, A
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead B
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing, A
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red, B
Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou, C
Who chariotest to their dark wintery bed B
The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low, C
Each like a corpse within its grave, until D
Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow C
Her clarion o'er the dreaming earth, and fill D
Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air) E
With living hues and odours plain and hill: D
Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere; E
Destroyer and preserver; hear, oh, hear! E"
I hope the answer help you. Regards.

Causing both sides of the shore to tremble...
