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.

Which detail uses sensory words to describe Akela? Father Wolf waited till his cubs could run a little, and then on the night of
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The detail that uses sensory words to describe Akela is:

C. out at full length on his rock.

Explanation:

Sensory words are words or phrases that appeal to one of more of our five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Having that in mind, we can use elimination to answer this question:

A. a hilltop covered with stones and boulders - may appeal to sight, but does not refer to Akela. This option is incorrect.

B. who led all the Pack by strength and cunning - does refer to Akela, but does not appeal to any of the five senses. The words "strength" and "cunning" demand a different kind of interpretation from readers. This option is incorrect.

C. out at full length on his rock - this is the correct option. We can imagine Akela lying down on the rock; we can even see the position of his body because of this description. Imagine your dog or cat, for instance, lying down on the floor, with his/her belly's whole extension touching the floor.

D. from badger-coloured veterans - again, does appeal to the senses, but does not refer to Akela. This option is incorrect.
