The correct answer is C.

By adding words relating to sight, like "see", "view" and "gaze", the author can create a more vivid symbolism of what the sense of sight means in this passage.

When it talks about putting out both of the listener's eyes, Jonathan Swift could add details including this type of words to add to the imagery of sight.
