Answer:

D. He disagrees with the public's choices regarding who gets honored.

Explanation:

This quote is from Jonathan Swift's (1667 – 1745) "A Modest Proposal" - A Modest Proposal for preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick.

Option C has similarities with Option D, yet Option D provides a clearer description of the context.

The excerpt suggests that Jonathan Swift emphasizes aiding children who strain their impoverished families and the state. He implies that performing such an act would genuinely serve the public and earn genuine admiration.

Moreover, there is a satirical tone within this excerpt highlighted by the phrases "fair, cheap and easy". Jonathan Swift is critiquing the government's focus on economic solutions. The government seeks an outcome that is fair, affordable, and straightforward for matters that they ought to prioritize solving regardless of the cost. In fact, this satirical viewpoint in the passage holds more truth than the provided options.
