Are the words interesting and interested related or different

pick from one of the three answers below

a)yes, they're related. they're both participles of the verb "to interest."
"interested" is the past participle of the verb "to interest" and is often used as an adjective.
"interesting" is the present participle of the verb "to interest" and is also often used as an adjective, albeit with different effect.
the adjectival difference between "interested" and "interesting" is "interested" describes one as having interest, one who something interests, whereas "interesting" describes what or who it is that elicits interest (i. e., what the interested person is interested in is interesting.

b)related yes, but with different meanings.

when talking about yourself or your feelings, use the –ed ending. “i am interested in music.” when talking about others or something outside yourself, use the –ing ending. “that music is interesting.”

c)putting aside the grammatical difference, the semantic difference is as follows: interestedis an adjective meaning "concerned, affected; having an interest, concern, or share in something.” interesting is also an adjective but it means "arousing interest." therefore, one is interested insomething, and usually this thing will be interesting.

Hich line in this excerpt from jonathan swift's "a modest proposal" uses the rhetorical device of irony? and secondly, (there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling), adding those who are beggars by profession, to the bulk of farmers, cottagers and labourers, with their wives and children, who are beggars in effect; i desire those politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the parents of these mortals, whether they would not at this day think it a great happiness to have been sold for food at a year old, in the manner i prescribe, and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes, as (they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather,) and the most inevitable prospect of intailing the like, or greater miseries, upon their breed for ever. i profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that( i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country,) by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich.( i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing. reset next)
