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. 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:

The summary does not use any quotation from the excerpt. Also, it does not accurately capture the essence of the original text. The original talks about a "refinement" (a satirical and grotesque idea) where the bodies of young lads and maidens (not a general "demand" as the summary says) could supply the want of venison (in a satirical, not literal sense). The summary simplifies and misrepresents the satirical and grotesque nature of the original proposal.

Answer:

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