Answer
A
a description of Swift’s argument
B
an explanation of how Swift uses satire to convey his real message
C
an objective tone
D
information about Swift’s life and background
E
the writer’s opinion of Swift’s essay

Explanation

A complete summary should describe Swift’s argument and explain how his use of satire communicates the serious message beneath it. It should also maintain an objective tone, reporting the essay’s ideas without adding personal judgment. Swift’s life and background may provide context, but they are not necessary to summarize the essay, and the writer’s opinion does not belong in an objective summary.
