It possibly could be because the nobility had a more refined speech pattern, while the uneducated commoners spoke a vernacular form of English

He did it to show the difference in their status and education.

Iambic pentameter is an elevated style, and Shakespeare created noble and educated characters who spoke in it. On the other hand, there were commoners who obviously did not belong to the same class as the nobles and did not receive the same education (if they had any education to begin with) so he wanted to show those differences through their speech. Nobles spoke in iambic pentameters, and commoners in blank verse or prose.

How does the passage expand on the central idea
tiny-mole [99]

It clarifies that the plague was the biggest killer in Elizabethan England.

Explanation:

The bubonic plague spread to London throughout the Elizabethan age, more than two hundred years during the pandemic in the 14th century. The most significant outbreaks occurred in 1563, 1593, 1603, 1625, and 1665, with several occurrences. Elizabethan was a gloomy, grim, scary place to live during most of the outbreaks.

Approximate 100,000 citizens have been killed by the pandemic, which was dubbed The Big Plague of London in 1665. This began in May 1665 and destroyed the town until the great storm in London of Sept of the same year. Most rats and fleas carrying bacteria were destroyed by fire.

Which of the following describes how Houyhnhnm's view death in Gulliver's Travels? It's an event of life, and they are not upset
Vesna [10]
The first choice is the best answer.

First, the Houyhnhnms are a rational species. Secondly, we know this when one friend visits the home where Gulliver is staying. She explains that she has arrived so late because her husband just died and she needed to make burial arrangements. Despite the fact that he literally just died, she behaves cheerfully.

Therefore, the Houyhnhnms view death as an event of life and they do not get upset when one occurs.
