In <em>Gulliver's Travels</em>, Swift satirizes different aspects of English society. He discuses different problems society faces and criticizes how the country is governed. The author depicts the problems in a different context each time that each voyage takes place in a different place and in a different form. He just tries to describe the problems of the society through fairy-tale, satirizing the aspects like politics, literature, philosophy and literature. Therefor, the correct answer is D.

Which words and phrases in the passage help create a tone of foreboding? Check all that apply.
borishaifa [10]

The phrases creating a tone of foreboding are:

  • "strange blight;"
  • "evil spell;"
  • "mysterious maladies;"
  • "shadow of death."

<em>Foreboding</em> means predicting or announcing that something bad is about to happen. Taking the answers one by one, you can see how they relate to the same ominous idea:

  • a "strange blight" and "evil maladies" refer to a destructive condition which no-body can explain;
  • an "evil spell" means that it is interpreted as a magical curse;
  • the "shadow of death" is a metaphor meaning that death is coming to the crops or cattle (depending on the original text excerpt).

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Okay!

Explanation:

"It happened at camp. We were in the woods and I saw this cool squirrel and went off by myself to check it out. Then I <em>slipped</em> on this slippery thatch of leaves. I was fine, but obviously, I wasn't great. By then, I couldn't even find the squirrel. I just lost my crew and was by myself trying not to cry. It had to be at least half an hour before I saw the <em>bear</em>. I was so <em>terrified</em>. It sort of just looked at me and sniffed at me. I stayed as still as possible, but inside I was <em>panicking.</em> It growled a couple of times and left. I start breaking down, right? Then I hear my crew counselor yelling my name at the top of her lungs, so I follow her voice and eventually find her, she was so <em>relieved.</em> If you think the bear was scary, you should've seen my mom when she found out. Horrifying."
