The king doesn't believe the men in power of England are most likely right t be there. Gulliver's Travels poses the question of whether physical or moral righteousness should be the governing factor in the country. Smith shows, <span>through the king that he doesn't approve the current government body of England.</span>

The King of Brobdingnag is horrified to hear the stories that Gulliver tells of England. The people of Brobdingnag are peaceful, and they do not engage in war if they can avoid it. He concludes that England must be full of barbarians, and that the leaders are not qualified to rule.

This reaction is probably a veiled representation of Swift's own opinions of England. Swift is likely to believe that England is indeed too violent and that its leaders are not fit to rule.

I'm not sure how many ____ of water I'm supposed to drink every day.
igor_vitrenko [27]

The answer is A. Cups. Cups isn’t possessive, like the other answers are, and the statement isn’t saying that the cups of water belong to anyone, so the answer isn’t supposed to be possessive, just plural. So the answer is A.

(Will mark if correct only) In The Raven, what most closely does the raven perching on the bust of Pallas
Naddik [55]

Answer:

C.) That nature powers over the strongest of human knowledge.

Explanation:

Poe incorporated the bust of Athena into "The Raven" because "Pallas" roughly translates into maiden. The narrator describes Lenore as a "rare and radiant maiden". I believe that the bust if Athena"(bust of Pallas) is a reminder of Lenore. It is important that the raven is perched on the bust because Pallas Atgena was a Greek goddess of wisdom, and it suggest that the bird itself may be wise.
