There is indeed another custom, which I cannot altogether approve of: when the king has a mind to put any of his nobles to death

in a gentle indulgent manner, he commands to have the floor strewn with a certain brown powder of a deadly composition, which being licked up, infallibly kills him in twenty-four hours. Which statement explains the irony in the passage best?

Based on the selection above from Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift, the statement that best explains the irony in the passage best is describing an execution as “gentle” and “indulgent” does not match the violence of executing someone. The answer would be the third option. Hope this answers your question.

Answer:

A. The theremin is becoming a newly popular Instrument to play.

Explanation:

The above statement which is on the growing popularity of the instrument is the central idea in the passage. This is because, when the instrument was formed by the Russian physicist, its popularity grew small in the 1920's before it fades away. <em>Later in the 1990's, it was revived with so many composers creating good musics and symphonies using the instrument.</em>
