Gulliver using his glasses as a shield in a military operation while the Blefuscudians shot arrows at Gulliver's face and neck in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. This situation described as an ironic situation because Gulliver did not defend his face and neck from the arrow. He rather defends his eyes using the glasses.

Irony refers to a literary device in which what appears to be the case on the surface is radically different from what is actually the case. In this example, Swift's glasses are made of glass, which in theory is not a resistant material and would most likely make a very bad shield. However, the irony is that the glasses actually protect Swift's eyes effectively, despite their fragile nature.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Letters A, B, and D are the correct answers.

Explanation:

Even all the options are related to a specific part of a city (a neighborhood), the written options are directly related to security.

In Letter A, readers can find shadows from trees dangerous since they get dark and they can find unknown people or dangerous objects that may hurt pedestrians.

In Letter B, the amount of people that walks nearby the indicated area is big due to the park and pool, giving more importance to the fact that there are no lights because more people are put in a dangerous situation.

Letter D is also correct because it means that the required founds to do this are available, meaning that just the direct action (the process involving the installation of streetlights) is the only required thing.
