There is likewise another great Advantage in my Scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary Abortions, and that horrid practice of Women murdering their B*stard Children, alas! too frequent among us, Sacrificing the poor innocent Babes, I doubt, more to avoid the Expence than the Shame, which would move Tears and Pity in the most Savage and inhuman breast. In this and similar statements, the writer of the proposal presents himself as a highly _____ and _____ man. Select all that apply. pragmatic compassionate moral patriotic

Answer:

In this and similar statements, the writer of the proposal presents himself as a highly pragmatic, compassionate and moral man.

Explanation:

In this particular excerpt of "A Modest Proposal", the speaker displays three qualities. First, we can see he is pragmatic. He talks of the advantages of his scheme (feeding poor children to the rich), of how his plan has a practical benefit to everyone involved. Second, he shows how moral he is by condemning women who have an abortion - as we know, abortions are considered immoral by several social groups, even today. Finally, he shows an ironic "compassion" for the babies that would have been aborted. Of course, the whole Proposal is ironic, but this part is specially interesting because he wants to prevent babies from dying so that he can use them as food later on. When he says "poor innocent Babes," he is trying to sound compassionate.

NOTE: I chose three options because the question says "Select all that apply". In case only two options are supposed to fill in the blanks, I would go with pragmatic and moral.

Isolation is a major theme in Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis. Which two** excerpts best reflect Gregor's isolated condition after his
transformation? *PLATOO*
-He got into the habit of closely watching it for one or two hours before it was opened and then, lying in the darkness of his room where he could
not be seen from the living room, he could watch the family in the light of the dinner table and listen to their conversation-with everyone's
permission, in a way, and thus quite differently from before.
-All of them were usually very quiet nowadays. Soon after dinner, his father would go to sleep in his chair; his mother and sister would urge each
other to be quiet; his mother, bent deeply under the lamp, would sew fancy underwear for a fashion shop; his sister, who had taken a sales job,
learned shorthand and French in the evenings so that she might be able to get a better position later on.
-Gregor never responded to being spoken to in that way, but just remained where he was without moving as if the door had never even been
opened. If only they had told this charwoman to clean up his room every day instead of letting her disturb him for no reason whenever she felt
like it!
-The woman most likely meant to fetch the things back out again when she had time and the opportunity, or to throw everything out in one go,
but what actually happened was that they were left where they landed when they had first been thrown unless Gregor made his way through
the junk and moved it somewhere else.

Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. Claire and her family continued down the street when "a short, rough man grabbed at my bundle [but I] would not let it go. I called for Father and almost lost my bundle except that another man took hold of [the man] and dragged him away. When I turned, I could not find Father or Mother or my sister or brothers. I ran down the sidewalk after them, calling their names and searching everywhere for a familiar face. They were gone — into the smoke and dark and falling fire. I stood near a corner hoping Father or Mother would return for me, and would have stayed there throughout the night, except that a building up the street began to burn, and then the roof of another and the mob came back at me and I was once again forced to move."
