Answer:

a. by suggesting that people care so little about children they would be willing to sell and eat them.

Step-by-step explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" proposes solutions to issues including crime, poverty, unemployment, and overpopulation. Over 250 years ago, Jonathan Swift offered his Modest Plan to get kids from low-income families off the couch and into the world.

I came to this conclusion after listening to their discussion of the negative economic and social effects that having a low-income kid may have, such as a parent's inability to provide adequate food and clothing for their children and an increase in criminal activity. The answer is to teach children skills that will benefit themselves, their communities, and their families, so that they may get more of what they need. One solution is to imply that most people do not give a hoot about children and would rather see them sold or eaten.
