Answer:
D). Swift makes a proposal so ridiculous that readers will know his essay is a satire.
Explanation:
Swift's 'Modest Proposal' is an arching satire to critique the English exploitation of Irish people. In the given excerpt, he employs exaggeration to critique the Irish people's act of selling their kids in order to overcome their economic inefficiencies by comparing 'a healthy child' with 'a delicious, wholesome food.' He makes the <u>proposal immodest, outrageous, and exaggerated so that the readers' can understand the author's purpose of mocking the heartless attitude of Britishers and push the Irish people to stand for their rights</u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
Full Question:
Read the excerpt from the building of manhattan.
<em>It was a monumental task: to design the world's tallest building, create as much usable rental space as possible, plan so it could be built within 18 months, and still have a handsome building. in the end, architect william lamb worked on fifteen designs before his plan "k" was finally chosen</em>.
Which phrase can be changed when paraphrasing this text?
A) within 18 months
B) plan ‘K’
C) handsome building
D) william lamb
Answer:
The correct answer is C) handsome building
Explanation:
To paraphrase means to put forward the definition of (something written or spoken) using alternate meanings to give it greater clarity.
In the sentence above, the phrase "handsome building" is murky.
The building (in this context) can only be "<em>handsome</em>" if after it is properly constructed according to sound and generally accepted engineering requirements without losing the original design and altering the projected cost, it still meets the contractors' expectations as the <em>Worlds Tallest Building. </em>
Afterall, he who pays the piper, calls the tune.
Note that the writer communicates challenges with constraints that threatened to force the alteration of the purpose of the building which is to have the Worlds Tallest Building.
There were the constraints of Time and Purpose.
So, a rephrased sentence would look like this:
<em>It was a monumental task: to design the world's tallest building, create as much usable rental space as possible, plan so it could be built within 18 months, and still meet the objective of the Project Owner of becoming the Worlds Tallest Building. In the end, architect William Lamb worked on fifteen designs before his plan "K" was finally chosen. </em>

The sentence with proper subject-verb agreement is B. The student as well as the teacher want to go to the museum. In this sentence, the subject is what we call a compound subject, meaning that the verb refers and agrees with more than just one singular word. The compound subject is "student" and "teacher" and they are connected by "as well as", which functions as a coordinating conjunction would. That's why the verb should conjugate in its plural form.
Option A is incorrect because the structure inside parentheses is not related to the verb and does not influence its conjugation. Options C and D have a verb in the singular form for a compound subject - that would demand a plural conjugation.
