Answer:

A. The police had been looking for the thief for months and finally caught him in the act.

Explanation:

The best answer choice is "The police had been looking for the thief for months and finally caught him in the act." Inconsistency or shift in a sentence voice confuses the reader. Shifts in the voice can make reading difficult and the meaning confusing. To correct the shift, both clauses in the sentence should be in the same (active) voice. This leaves the subject of both clause as "the police," which improves the flow of ideas.

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.
