read the excerpt from \a modest proposal.\ those who are more thrifty (as i must confess the times require) may flea the carcass; the skin of which, artificially dressed, will make admirable gloves for ladies, and summer boots for fine gentlemen. the false premise in this excerpt is that some people in england were suffering from poverty and hunger. some women wore gloves and some men wore summer boots. people sometimes spend less during times of economic hardship. people would be willing to use the skin of children to make clothing.
Answer
# Answer:
D. people would be willing to use the skin of children to make clothing.
# Brief Explanations:
In "A Modest Proposal", the narrator makes extreme and immoral - like suggestions. The idea that people would be willing to use children's skin for clothing is a false and horrifying premise used for satirical effect. The other options are either true statements about the society at the time or not the main false premise of this extreme suggestion.
