Question

which sentence correctly uses a quotation from \a modest proposal\?
swift explains that some mothers are \forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants.\
some mothers are forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants.
\swift writes that some mothers are forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants.\
swift explains that many mothers have to beg in order to provide food for their children.

Explanation:

• The first option correctly uses a quotation. It attributes the quote to Swift ("Swift explains that...") and properly encloses the quoted text ("forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants").
• The second option is just a statement without proper attribution (no mention of Swift).
• The third option has incorrect structure as the quote should be part of the statement about what Swift writes, not starting with "Swift writes that" inside the quotation marks.
• The fourth option is a paraphrase, not a direct quotation.

Answer:

Swift explains that some mothers are "forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants."
