I believe the answer is:

1. a paraphrase of the main ideas in "A Modest Proposal"

in this part of the summary, we create a similar wording of the main ideas that we read from the modest proposal ( could be close to the original content, but make sure that it is not too close to avoid plagiarism)

3. an explanation of the meaning and purpose of the satire

( in this process, we make an effort to interpret the writer's intent and sense of humour into the summary)

5. some quotations that serve as evidence of Swift's ideas

( This is made to back our interpretation that we make in the step 3)
