-"A Modest Proposal,"
Jonathan Swift
A. Children will be too expensive for most buyers.
B. Women can be competitive.
C. Mothers will be willing to sell their children.

Respuesta :

Answer:

C.  Mothers will be willing to sell their children.

Explanation:

The false premise that Swift relied on to develop the argument is Option C. It is the correct answer because the argument in the passage is about the women who bring their fattest kids or children to the market for business.

Options A and C are incorrect due to the reasons that children will always be in demand, can be bought irrespective of them being expensive. However, expensive and competitiveness are true premises.
