In the first sentence of paragraph 3 (reproduced below), the writer is considering deleting the bolded text, adjusting the punctuation as necessary. Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, felow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, “since history and experience
prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republicaan government.”

Should the writer keep or delete the bolded text?
(text in “”)
A- Keep it, because it provides support for the writer's claim that these kinds of relationships are dangerous and harmful.
B- Keep it, because it presents evidence for the counterargument, showing that the writer has considered alternate perspectives.
C- Delete it, because it creates unnecessary wordiness and cutters an already lengthy and complicated sentence.
D- Delete it, because it contradicts the writer's overall argument which is developed later in the speech.

{asap} select the correct text in the passage. which line in this excerpt from jonathan swift's "a modest proposal" uses the rhetorical device of irony? and secondly, there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling, adding those who are beggars by profession, to the bulk of farmers, cottagers and labourers, with their wives and children, who are beggars in effect; i desire those politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the parents of these mortals, whether they would not at this day think it a great happiness to have been sold for food at a year old, in the manner i prescribe, and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes, as they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather, and the most inevitable prospect of intailing the like, or greater miseries, upon their breed for ever. i profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich. i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing. lines highlighted: - there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling, - they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather - i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country, - i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing.
