In the beginning of the pamphlet, how does the narrator try to appeal to the reader?

c. he appeals to the audience's logic by presenting statistics that prove the financial success of the plan.

The narrator shows that these children are worthless and a drain to financial resources to the family. They are the reason why a lot of families are poor because instead of working an income generating job, the mother is forced to stay home to look after her children. And if worse comes to worst, they go out to the street and ask for alms from the people.
