Firstly, inversion is a reversal of order in a sentence. The inversion in a modest proposal can be sampled through this statement: "You know that you will benefit more for my proposal has had advantages which are quite of high importance.

Inversion refers to a grammatical construction where two expressions switch the way in which they normally appear.

One example of this in A Modest Proposal is the phrase:

".... the advantages of my proposal which I have made obvious and many as well as of the highest importance."
