I have been assured by a very knowing American of my
acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is
at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food,

that it will equally serve in fricassee or a ragout.
How does including this passage in the middle of the essay most clearly contribute
to the satire's impact?
O A. Swift wants to leave his audience with a sense of shock and horror.
O B. Swift is able to lure readers into his satire by holding back the most
shocking part.
O C. Swift lets his readers know that the essay isn't serious, so they can enjoy
it.
D. Swift makes a proposal so ridiculous that readers will know his essay is
a satire.
