Read the following passage, and then answer the questions in bold:
He did extraordinarily well in the war. He was a captain
before he went to the front, and following the Argonne battles he got his majority and the command of the divisional
machine-guns. After the Armistice he tried frantically to
get home, but some complication or misunderstanding sent 5
him to Oxford instead. He was worried now — there was a
quality of nervous despair in Daisy’s letters. She didn’t see why
he couldn’t come. She was feeling the pressure of the world
outside, and she wanted to see him and feel his presence
beside her and be reassured that she was doing the right thing 10
after all.
For Daisy was young and her artificial world was redolent
of orchids and pleasant, cheerful snobbery and orchestras
which set the rhythm of the year, summing up the sadness and
suggestiveness of life in new tunes. All night the saxophones 15
wailed the hopeless comment of the Beale Street Blues while
a hundred pairs of golden and silver slippers shuffled the shining dust. At the gray tea hour there were always rooms that
throbbed incessantly with this low, sweet fever, while fresh
faces drifted here and there like rose petals blown by the sad 20
horns around the floor.
Through this twilight universe Daisy began to move
again with the season; suddenly she was again keeping half a
dozen dates a day with half a dozen men, and drowsing asleep
at dawn with the beads and chiffon of an evening dress tan- 25
gled among dying orchids on the floor beside her bed. And
all the time something within her was crying for a decision.

She wanted her life shaped now, immediately — and the
decision must be made by some force — of love, of money,
of unquestionable practicality — that was close at hand. 30
That force took shape in the middle of spring with the
arrival of Tom Buchanan. There was a wholesome bulkiness
about his person and his position, and Daisy was flattered.
Doubtless there was a certain struggle and a certain relief. The
letter reached Gatsby while he was still at Oxford. 35

In this excerpt from "a modest proposal" by jonathan swift, which important issue does the writer deal with using a satirical tone? some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and i have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. but i am not in the least pain upon that matter, because it is very well known, that they are every day dying, and rotting, by cold and famine, and filth, and vermin, as fast as can be reasonably expected. and as to the young labourers, they are now in almost as hopeful a condition. they cannot get work, and consequently pine away from want of nourishment, to a degree, that if at any time they are accidentally hired to common labour, they have not strength to perform it, and thus the country and themselves are happily delivered from the evils to come. a. old, sickly people cannot be hired as laborers because they don't have the physical stamina required for the job. b. old, sickly people and young laborers are useless to the nation because they cannot be productive citizens. c. the economy of the nation is burdened by the poor, the old, and the sickly who survive on charity and handouts. d. the living conditions of the poor and their lack of employment opportunities are serious concerns for the nation. reset next
