[Urgent !] Why Gulliver's travels is a human satyre ?

1 answer:

3 0

Gulliver's Travels was the work of a writer who had been using satire as his medium for over a quarter of a century. His life was one of continual disappointment, and satire was his complaint and his defense — against his enemies and against humankind. People, he believed, were generally ridiculous and petty, greedy and proud; they were blind to the "ideal of the mean." This ideal of the mean was present in one of Swift's first major satires, The Battle of the Books (1697). There, Swift took the side of the Ancients, but he showed their views to be ultimately as distorted as those of their adversaries, the Moderns. In Gulliver's last adventure, Swift again pointed to the ideal of the mean by positioning Gulliver between symbols of sterile reason and symbols of gross sensuality. To Swift, Man is a mixture of sense and nonsense; he had accomplished much but had fallen far short of what he could have been and what he could have done.

What is the antecedent of the underlined personal pronoun? Few in the group write their essays using pen and paper nowadays. A.

viva [34]

The antecedent of the underlined personal pronoun is B. FEW.

Few is an indefinite pronoun that serves as an antecedent. It is also in plural form. Therefore, the referent, THEIR, is also in plural form.

Pronoun is a word used to take the place of a noun. It must agree to the number of the antecedent.

If the antecedent is singular, then the pronoun should be singular.
If the antecedent is plural, then the pronoun should be plural.

First of all, we need to establish two definitions here. the first one is Americanism that is the attachment to ideas and traditions in the USA, basically being an absolute patriot.

The second word is fiend which is a person who has negative intentions towards your feelings and in general, to anything other people value.

Taking this in consideration we can say that the correct answer is It develops the conflict by establishing the fact that Judge Lenon is unforgiving when he feels that someone has been unpatriotic since he is a fiend for Americanism he won't stop in his objective of going against anything that is opposite to his beliefs.

The other options are not correct because they talk about the use of vocabulary more than its meaning and the last one talks about corruption which is not mentioned in the excerpt.
