Question 45 • Language Arts 12
A, B, and D accurately quote Swift’s wording. In A, he says that the person who finds a “fair, cheap and easy method” would deserve a statue as “a preserver of the nation.” B correctly quotes his claim that the proposal would encourage marriage, and D quotes his point that parents would “be rid of the charge” of supporting their children after the first year. C cuts off Swift’s phrase “beggars of the female sex” without marking the omission, and E gives a claim about ten shillings that does not match the text.
