Read the excerpt from "a modest proposal" by jonathan swift. which part of the text indicates that the landlords were known to exploit their tenants in eighteenth-century ireland?

i have already computed the charge of nursing a beggar's child (in which list i reckon all cottagers, labourers, and four-fifths of the farmers) to be about two shillings per annum, rags included; and [i believe no gentleman would repine to give ten shillings for the carcass of a good fat child,] which, as i have said, will make four dishes of excellent nutritive meat, when he hath only some particular friend, or his own family to dine with him. [thus the squire will learn to be a good landlord, and grow popular among his tenants,] the mother will have eight shillings neat profit, and be fit for work till she produces another child.

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.]

[as to our city of dublin, shambles may be appointed for this purpose, in the most convenient parts of it,] and butchers we may be assured will not be wanting; [although i rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs.]

options are in brackets, you may only pick one.
