Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In "A Modest Proposal," Jonathan Swift puts forth a satirical argument that the problem of poverty and starvation among the people of Ireland could be solved if the Irish sell their infants as a food source for the wealthy. Swift's true argument is that a wide array of means exist to help the poor.
