Read the following paragraph: "The 'marshmallow test' was developed in the 1960's as a way to understand personality traits. In the test, preschoolers were
given a marshmallow, then told they would get two marshmallows if they didn't eat the first one while the researcher left the
room for a few minutes. At the time, researchers thought that the children who held out for a second treat had greater willpower.
"However, a new investigation suggests that the marshmallow test didn't really measure willpower after all. When
researchers tried the experiment again, they found that the decision to eat or wait had more to do with economic background
than personality. Children from poorer families were more likely to eat the first marshmallow than wait, perhaps because in their
experience the future is uncertain. Wealthier children found it easier to hold out, perhaps because they had more expectation that
their needs would always be met."
What is the implied main idea of this reading?
O Research experiments are not reliable.
O The results of scientific studies should be interpreted cautiously.
Some kids like marshmallows more than others.
Wealthy people have more willpower than poor people.

Hich line in this excerpt from jonathan swift's "a modest proposal" uses the rhetorical device of irony? and secondly, (there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling), adding those who are beggars by profession, to the bulk of farmers, cottagers and labourers, with their wives and children, who are beggars in effect; i desire those politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the parents of these mortals, whether they would not at this day think it a great happiness to have been sold for food at a year old, in the manner i prescribe, and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes, as (they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather,) and the most inevitable prospect of intailing the like, or greater miseries, upon their breed for ever. i profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that( i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country,) by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich.( i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing. reset next)
