What happens in A Modest Proposal?

In "A Modest Proposal," Swift's proposal is far from modest. He suggests that the Irish should sell their children to the English as a source of food in order to solve the problem of poverty. By calling it "modest," he uses sarcasm to create irony and highlight the outrageousness of the proposal.

The use of sarcasm helps Swift to criticize the way in which the English government and the Irish elite were neglecting the plight of the Irish poor, and to call for change.

Our family enjoys stargazing with our telescope, a gift from my grandfather, when we go camping.Identify the nonessential appositive phrase.

a gift from my grandfather
our family
with our telescope
when we go camping

Answers

The correct answer is A. a gift from my grandfather

Explanation:

A nonessential appositive phrase refers to a set of words that are not necessary for the main sentence but provide extra information or explain one of the essential elements. They can be identified because they are commonly enclosed by commas that show they are not essential to the sentence. This means, in the sentence presented "a gift from my grandfather" is the nonessential appositive phrase because this phrase explains the element "our telescope" but it is not essential to understand the main sentence "Our family enjoys stargazing with our telescope when we go camping" and it is enclosed by commas as all appositive phrases of this kind.
