6. Who does Swift NOT list as a beneficiary of his plan? a) Poor Irish tenants as they would have money to pay their rent b) Connoisseurs of food and chefs who take great pride in their dishes c) Poor Irish parents because they would not have the burden of rearing children d) Irish wives as their husbands would stop abusing them e) Irish young who would be more motivated to marry for profiting from the sale of newborns f) The Irish economy through exports g) Catholics as the number of Protestants would go up 1 point

## Step 1
This problem is a comprehension question based on Jonathan Swift's satirical essay, "A Modest Proposal". In this essay, Swift proposes a solution to the problem of poverty in Ireland by suggesting that impoverished Irish families could ease their economic burden by selling their children as food to rich gentlemen and ladies.
## Step 2
The question asks who Swift does NOT list as a beneficiary of his plan. The options provided are:
a) Poor Irish tenants as they would have money to pay their rent
b) Connoisseurs of food and chefs who take great pride in their dishes
c) Poor Irish parents because they would not have the burden of rearing children
d) Irish wives as their husbands would stop abusing them
e) Irish young who would be more motivated to marry for profiting from the sale of newborns
f) The Irish economy through exports
g) Catholics as the number of Protestants would go up
## Step 3
By examining the options, we can see that Swift's proposal is satirical and targets the British government's neglect of the Irish people. He does not list any group that would benefit from the proposal in a positive way.
## Step 4
Option b) Connoisseurs of food and chefs who take great pride in their dishes, is not listed as a beneficiary in Swift's proposal. This is because Swift's proposal is satirical and does not aim to benefit these groups.
