Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

In"A Modest proposal," Jonathan Swift makes use of satire and irony to expose the flaws of the English government, whose economical and political restrictions aggravated the unsatisfactory situation in Ireland. As a result, he uses humor and exaggeration to ridicule those responsible for the Irish crisis, as well as to propose ideas to help solve the starving of his people.
