read the passage. excerpt from "a cooking revolution: how clean energy and cookstoves are saving lives" by chef josé andrés, june 7, 2016 cooking: it's a simple act that has brought families around the world together for thousands and thousands of years. as a chef, i can think of few things more beautiful than that. however, i also know how deadly such a simple act can be , not only to our health, but to our environment. think about it: for americans, turning on the stove means simply turning a knob or switch. for people living in developing countries, particularly women and children, it means hours of collecting fuels like firewood, dung, or coal to burn in a rudimentary, smoky cookstove or over an open fire. the result is a constant source of toxic smoke that families breathe in daily, causing diseases like child pneumonia, heart disease, and lung cancer , not to mention taking a child away from her education. in fact, diseases caused by smoke from open fires and stoves claim 4.3 million lives every year. that's more than aids, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. and the environment suffers, too. when people collect wood every day from their local forests to create charcoal or fuel for wood-burning stoves, it creates an unsustainable pace of deforestation that leads to mudslides, loss of watershed, and other environmental consequences. these stoves also contribute up to 25 percent of black carbon emissions, a pollutant that contributes directly to climate change. you see, from what we cook to how we cook, our food connects with our lives on so many levels. that's why having access to better technology and clean energy for cooking is as equally important as the ingredients in the food being prepared. it's also why i'm proud to support an effort to bring clean cookstoves and fuels to millions of people in developing countries. together with the united nations, the u. s. government, and partners around the world, the global alliance for clean cookstoves focuses on working with local communities and organizations to develop a market for cookstoves and fuels that significantly reduce emissions, cook more efficiently, and fit with local customs and culture. . the obama administration's investment goes a long way toward achieving our goal of bringing access to clean cookstoves and fuels to 100 million households in places like china, guatemala, kenya, and india by 2020. just last month, india's prime minister narendra modi announced his plan to connect 50 million indian families to clean cooking gas over the next three years. this is an important step being taken at an unprecedented scale, and it could protect the lives of millions and while also improving india's environment. that's powerful, people! mothers can be healthier. young girls have more time to go to school. forests grow again. people can feed themselves without risking their lives to cook a meal. that's what we can accomplish by providing clean cookstoves and fuels. and that's a simple act that can change the world for years and years to come.

{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.
