Satire in Swift's "A Modest Proposal" (Continued)

Question 3 • Language Arts 12 A-IC

Which sentence is written objectively?

Answer
A
I think it’s ridiculous for Swift to propose that people engage in cannibalism.
B
Swift’s irony should be really obvious to anyone who knows about satire.
C
Swift suggests that eating children could solve the problem of poverty, but he is being ironic.
D
“A Modest Proposal” is a brilliant and entertaining satire.

Explanation

Sentence C is the most objective because it describes Swift’s proposal and identifies its use of irony without giving a personal evaluation. “Ridiculous,” “really obvious,” and “brilliant and entertaining” express opinions or judgments, making A, B, and D subjective.
