Read the excerpt from Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal." Swift wrote this essay as a satire to suggest how the children of poor people can stop being a burden to their parents and society. Which line from the excerpt demonstrates Swift's use of logical appeal (although distorted logic) to persuade readers to adopt his purposely shocking suggestion of eating children as a cheaper alternative to meat?1)and I believe no gentleman would repine to give ten shillings for the carcass of a good fat child, which, as I have said, will make four dishes of excellent nutritive meat

2)A very worthy person, a true lover of his country, and whose virtues I highly esteem, was lately pleased, in discoursing on this matter, to offer a refinement upon my scheme.

3)But with due deference to so excellent a friend, and so deserving a patriot, I cannot be altogether in his sentiments

4)it is not improbable that some scrupulous people might be apt to censure such a practice, (although indeed very unjustly) as a little bordering upon cruelty, which, I confess, hath always been with me the strongest objection against any project, how well soever intended.

In "Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata," which line is an example of a detail the author added for dramatic interest? a. "Beethoven looked at me."
b. "We can scarcely pay our rent."

In my opinion, the correct answer is B, 'We can scarcely pay our rent'. Because that sentence is quite dramatic, we sympathize with the author.

Algeria, which is located between Libya and Morocco, was once a colony of France.Which statement about the underlined phrase is true?

Answers

I assume that the underlined phrase here is "which is located between Libya and Morocco." So, what exactly is this phrase? We know that it DOES contain a relative pronoun. We also know that it is an adjective clause, a phrase that describes the preceding noun (Algeria). So it is an essential or a non-essential adjective clause? Well, the reader does not necessarily need to know the location of Algeria to understand what the speaker is talking about. So, it would fall under the category of "nonessential adjective clause."
