This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these children sound useful members of the common-wealth, would deserve so well of the publick as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation. Based on this satirical excerpt, what is most likely to be true about the author? A. He doesn't think statues are the proper way to honor people the public admires. B. He believes the public is not giving him the honors he has earned. C. He feels the public doesn't always honor the right people. D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.

What is most likely true about the author is:

D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.

Explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" was published by author Jonathan Swift in 1729, anonymously. It is now a famous example of satire, especially because Swift was able to write an absurdity with seriousness. It turns out that Swift is ironically suggesting a solution to make the children of the poor useful to the rich. He defends the idea that poor parents should begin to sell their children as food to the rich. He offers logical explanations for that suggestion, and even provides them with ideas as to how to cook the kids.

In the excerpt we are analyzing here, he says anyone who can come up with such a good idea deserves a statue honoring him. Since the whole Proposal is a satire, we can infer that Swift is actually criticizing those who do get statues. He most likely thinks they do not deserve being honored at all, especially if their contributions to society include oppressing others.

Time is not always change. time can also mean continuity, and it can mean keeping acknowledged truths in mind despite differences in circumstances.there is no better example of this in things fall apart than the retellings of the proverb about the bird named eneke, the language in both retellings is almost identical despite the length of time that has passed between their repetitions. in comparing the usages of the same proverb, achebe allows his readers to note the similarities and differences between the situations, and he them understand how this story can be applied to their own lives.

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were a wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
