Read the excerpt from "a modest proposal." 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. which statement best describes how irony is used in this excerpt? swift states that he is speaking from “the sincerity in [his] heart.” swift states that he has an interest in “the publick good of [his] country.” swift states that the youngest of his children is “nine years old.” swift states that his “wife is past child-bearing” age.

Swift states that he is speaking from “the sincerity in [his] heart.” is the answer

dear miss layla

while looking through books for my class period i noticed the library cards in the books.most of them are torn or have no space to write out our names anymore.would we be able to replace them?

the tone of the passage is sympathetic to the forbidden love of romeo and juliet. the nurse plays a significant role in the play. she is responsible for making their meeting again possible. additionally, there is a sense of warning in the choice of words of the nurse. she seems to be authoritative when she calls romeo "scurvy knave", and at the same time the fact that she addresses to him as "sir" reflects respect. the nurse is "vexed", this word describes her confused state of mind. on the one hand, she finds romeo a fine and eloquent man, but on the other, it is thought that man's nature forces men to try to trick women.
