Picture the Earth like a giant peach floating in space. On its surface is a thin skin called the crust. Instead of fleshy fruit, just below that is the rocky mantle. Deep in the center, like the peach's pit, sits the Earth's core. The inner core is solid, extremely hot and under immense pressure from all the rock above it. The outer core is molten, so it's liquid, and also very hot. This core extends 1,800 miles around from the center of the Earth.
The layer after the core is the mesosphere. This layer is mostly solid and extends outward another 1,500 miles. The asthenosphere is a thin layer, about 150 miles thick, at the border between the mantle and the crust. It is still very hot, and nearly (but not quite) a liquid. Because of this, pieces of the Earth's crust can move very slowly above it.
Which of the following is true about the Earth’s layers?

A: The asthenosphere is the thickest of Earth’s layers.

B: All of the layers are liquid and extremely hot.

C: There is little to no pressure on the solid core.

D:The Earth’s core has two different parts.

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)
