Question

read the excerpt from \a modest proposal\ and the summary that follows.
a very worthy person, a true lover of his country, and whose virtues i highly esteem, was lately pleased, in discoursing on this matter, to offer a refinement upon my scheme. he said, that many gentlemen of this kingdom, having of late destroyed their deer, he conceived that the want of venison might be well supplyd by the bodies of young lads and maidens, not exceeding fourteen years of age, nor under twelve; so great a number of both sexes in every country being now ready to starve for want of work and service.
excerpt summary:
swift writes about a virtuous and patriotic friend who suggests there will be a demand for children aged twelve to fourteen by the wealthy of the kingdom who have \depleted their deer supply.\
which best describes this summary of the excerpt?

• it effectively paraphrases the excerpt and correctly uses a quotation.
• it effectively paraphrases the excerpt but does not correctly use a quotation.
• it does not effectively paraphrase the excerpt but correctly uses a quotation.
• it does not effectively paraphrase the excerpt or correctly use a quotation.

Explanation:

1. Paraphrase Check: The original says a person (not "friend") proposed using children (12 - 14) to replace venison after gentry destroyed deer. The summary misrepresents the proposal (says "demand for children" instead of using them as venison substitute) and misinterprets the relationship (calls the person a "friend"). So paraphrase is ineffective.
2. Quotation Check: The original has "destroyed their deer", but the summary quotes "depleted their deer supply" which is not an exact quote. So the quotation is incorrect.

Answer:

It does not effectively paraphrase the excerpt or correctly use a quotation.
