Answer:

d. They consider starvation or shooting him with poisoned arrows.

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift's adventure story "Gulliver's Travels" is the fictional story of Lemuel Gulliver to various interesting nations. He met all kinds of living beings, some small, some bigger than him, and some even animal like.

Part I of the story tells his journey to the kingdom of Lilliput, a nation inhabited by small, tiny 6 inch people. Since he himself appears huge for them, they toed him and kept him captive for the time being. The king along with his men consulted with each other on what course to take regarding 'this' alien they had captured. One such consultation led to the councilmen suggesting that they starve him or kill him with poisoned arrows. But this idea was rejected for they will be left "<em>the stench of so large a carcass (which) might produce a plague in the metropolis, and probably spread through the whole kingdom</em>".

Determine the rhyme scheme of the following poem.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: The rhyme scheme of the poem is, ABAB, CDCD, EFEF.

Explanation:

Rhyme schemes are the patterns of a line that are designed in such a way that they rhyme with each other. For example, the words game and same are rhyming words. In ‘Sonnet 5’ William Shakespeare have used ABAB, CDCD, EFEF rhyme scheme.

The first line of the poem ends with ‘frame’ (A). The second line end with the word ‘dwell’ (B). The third line end with ‘same’ (A), while the fourth line ends with ‘excel’ (B). Thus making it ABAB rhyme.

Similarly, the other lines (on-gone, there-where) make the CDCD rhyme scheme and so on.
