Explanation:

• Question 17: Swift uses satire (a form of writing to address social injustices). "The pen is mightier than the sword" implies the power of writing (like Swift's satirical works) to effect change, which is relevant to his efforts in addressing social issues.
• Question 18: In A Modest Proposal, Swift claims as an Englishman, he cannot sell any of his children for money to show he won't benefit from the "proposal" (which is a satirical take on solving Ireland's poverty).
• Question 19: Logos is a persuasive technique that uses logic and facts (like statistics and numbers). Since Swift uses statistics and numbers, he is using logos.

Answer:

1. “The pen is mightier than the sword.”
