Read the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal." This I freely own and 'twas indeed one principal design in offering it to the world. I desire the reader will observe, that I calculate my remedy for this one individual Kingdom of Ireland and for no other that ever was,is,or,I think, ever can be upon Earth. Therefore let no man talk to me of other expedients: Of taxing our absentees at five shillings a pound: Of using neither cloaths, nor houshold furniture except what is of our own growth and manufacture Of utterly rejecting the materials and instruments that promote foreign luxury What is Swift's purpose in listing other ways to solve the issue of poverty? to show that his plan to sell children is the most reasonable plan that has been put forth to show that society is already asking too much of wealthy individuals to show that real reform is possible with reasonable sacrifice to show that there are many other people who are trying to bring about reform

Answer 1

# Explanation:## Step 1 step in solving this problem is to understand the context of the excerpt. The excerpt is from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift, a satirical essay that suggests the selling of children as a solution to poverty. ## Step 2Next, we need to analyze the options given. The options suggest different interpretations of Swift's purpose in listing other ways to solve the issue of poverty.## Step 3The correct interpretation is that Swift is using these other solutions to emphasize the severity of the situation and to highlight the absurdity of his own proposal. By listing these other solutions, Swift is not suggesting that they are viable options, but rather that they are not as extreme or absurd as his own proposal.## Step 4Therefore, the correct answer is "to show that real reform is possible with reasonable sacrifice". This interpretation aligns with Swift's satirical style and the context of the essay.# Answer
