What is the central idea of this text?
Some anthropologists theorize that it wasn't the creation and use of tools that marked the emergence of early humans from their more animal-like ancestors, but the beginning of genuine
oral, and later pictorial communication. The development of a genuine
system of writing, thoug
came much later, as some societies transitioned from hunter-gatherer to permanent agrarian
communities. This nelifestyrequired counting property - like parcels of land, livestock or
measures of crops - and also the ability to transfer ownership of things from one individual or
settlement to another. Early such record-keeping was done with "counting tokens" about 9,000
years ago. But these tokens eventually were replaced by symbols that could be pressed or
inscribed into clay, and this marked the beginning of a written language. These symbols began
as pictures that represented what they pictured, but over time pictures also began to represent
concepts and, eventually sounds. Thus, written language was a natural outgrowth of an
increasingly agrarian society.

In this excerpt from "a modest proposal" by jonathan swift, which important issue does the writer deal with using a satirical tone? some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and i have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. but i am not in the least pain upon that matter, because it is very well known, that they are every day dying, and rotting, by cold and famine, and filth, and vermin, as fast as can be reasonably expected. and as to the young labourers, they are now in almost as hopeful a condition. they cannot get work, and consequently pine away from want of nourishment, to a degree, that if at any time they are accidentally hired to common labour, they have not strength to perform it, and thus the country and themselves are happily delivered from the evils to come. a. old, sickly people cannot be hired as laborers because they don't have the physical stamina required for the job. b. old, sickly people and young laborers are useless to the nation because they cannot be productive citizens. c. the economy of the nation is burdened by the poor, the old, and the sickly who survive on charity and handouts. d. the living conditions of the poor and their lack of employment opportunities are serious concerns for the nation. reset next
